Glenn, I don't know a whole lot but I know Bow has 10" of ice with 6 to 8 inches of snow on the ice according to Bowstring Shores. Smaller lakes sound like some slush but don't know how much. I'm supposed to go up Monday but with the highs in the single digits not sure. Will find out tomorrow what my buddy wants to do. I will let you know if we go and what we find.

If merc's info is right along with what Sundin says in the new fishing reports thread that the small lakes have more snow on them because the wind didn't blow it off. More snow = more slush, at least right now. Of the people we know up there now hardly any ice fish, but if I was a gamblin man I'd say if Bow has 6-8 " of snow your little lake has at least 2", to maybe 4" more. Maybe Kettle will post about what he finds this weekend over on FM, it seems like he fishes mostly the smaller lakes in our area.

thanks guys!!!!!!  all i can say based on what i seen the 3rd weekend of deer hunting there was maybe 6 inches, but no more then that, of snow on land and the lake didnt have any snow on it. what happened after that....well its mixed reports.

[glenn57]

so, according to the DNR website snow cover up there is right around 12-15 inches of snow.

What I seen of the radar early this AM, they got some more today. No idea how much.

[glenn57]

I got a couple people I am going to call when it gets closer. iffin I gotta pay it myself to get plowed out so be it. i'll pay him again to put all the snow back in the road.

[glenn57]

MERC, I'd suggest reading kettle's post. wasn't good.  It made up my mind I'm not going up new year's.

[glenn57]

Rain nor sleet nor snow will keep me away. Now my buddy, that may be different. I guess I will leave it up to him as he is going to drive.

You know all the years I've driven by that place I always told my fishing buddies, we should stop in there once and see what it's like. Maybe my next trip!! Think anyone will believe this story?

NO!!!!

A guy can't get away with anything on here.    

[Gunner55]

It looks like somebody had ideas of maybe walkin out at Geiger's but thought better of it after only getting 5-10' out there. Some different lookin tracks on the other cam too, 2 of 'em look like they might go right through the Narrows. That's  as nobody usually ever goes through there, way too much current. Not sure where they get on but all the traffic over there always comes from the west side on that 1.

[glenn57]

yea most those tracks werent there yesterday evening, so that all had to happen today!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Looks like fresh Otter sled tracks out of Geiger's now.

[glenn57]

the first 2 cams on the williams narrows cams didnt have those tracks this morning...............AND they look awefully wet.

[Gunner55]

I only looked at the West facing 1 & it was hard to tell what made them. Kind of looked like it might've been cross country ski's to me.

[glenn57]

the Geiger cam looks like there's been some foot traffic along shore, looks also like that path out on the lake got filled with snow, but i still dont see anything for shelters out farther.

[Rebel SS]

Can you post that cam link?
