ice thickness reports are hard to find? we have out Union retiree holiday party saturday night. hopefully my former coworker up there comes down i can get the scoop from him. he lives next to CO Fairbanks and are good friends!!!!

just looked at the webcams..........cant tell if its actually snowing or just the wind blowing the snow around........kinda like a whiteout!!!!

[Gunner55]

Just looked at the radar for the cabin & it didn't show any snow. So, it's just probably blowin around what they already have. That's what the narrows webcam kind of looked like to me too.

[fishwidow]

Snowing now and has been off and on all morning. Periods of gusty wind, but calm right now. We’ve been getting about 1/2”—1” every day the last few days. When this one is through, I think it’ll be time to break the blower out for the first time this year.

Fishing techniques include trawling, longlining, jigging, hand-gathering, spearing, netting, angling, shooting and trapping, as well as more destructive and often illegal techniques such as electrocution, blasting and poisoning.

the pines resort on Winnie posted on fartbook the bay had 8-9 ices of good ice, but warned they havent checked out further....

Sundin said he expects people to be out on some of the smaller shallow lakes by this weekend in his report from Monday. He has another later report on his website too, but that just covered JB's & LPS's turf. https://www.jeffsundin.com/Minnesota_Fishing_Reports_and_Outdoor_Links.htm

  kindaa surprised noones out on the ice on the narrows or geigers????

[Gunner55]

 The TWC's WWA for your girlfriends' place  is now saying just 1-3"..........................so that means they'll probably get 6-8" because they're NEVER right. Must gonna be some freezing rain too as it says there will be a light glaze. The hourly has from ~ 9 or 10 'til at least 7 & maybe as late as 9 or 10.

Ice doesn't look so good out front of Geiger's or Lakewood to me this morning. Might start snowng any minute over at the Narrows the way it looks too.

[glenn57]

last i looked at THW supposed to get -11 think wed night........it'll freeze up.

talked to my buddy from up there last night.. he said CO Fairbanks said  there were alot of spear shacks on the 3rd river with 6 inches of ice. i'll be good to go where i'm gonna fish.!!! i wont go over 10 ft of water when i'm up there!!

[Gunner55]

  So, he drives 2-3 hours down just to go to the Xmas party? I hope he doesn't turn around go right back home after it's done, especially if he's had a few beers.

Hey fishwidow,  how much snow is iron the ground up that way??

Looks like some good ice building temps the next 3 nights.    3 nights in a row below 0 and 2 of those double digits below 0. bet the ice will be singing! Daytime temps also barely reach double digits  till I get there!

[Gunner55]

It was snowing at the Narrows about noon, it was real light though.

[glenn57]

looking at the cams......it doesnt look like alot of snow on the ground.......and less on the lakes!!!!!!

[fishwidow]

I’m in the cities right now, but as of late yesterday we had about 4-5 inches. Wet and heavy snowman material. If it had been colder, I’m guessing we would have a good 7-8 inches of fluffy easy-to move stuff.
The lake fully froze just over a week ago, developed cracks mid-week and looked a little slushy on top yesterday. Hopefully the temp coming down will firm it up.
