Well, at least the weather is helping make some of the ice safe again, and prediction are for keeping it safe for a few more days.  What is the old saying???  "Cold enuff for ya"????

 :scratch: Slush? Where, none in sight @ the NW access on Bowstring today. :confused: A lot of tracks goin out from there though. I counted 15 rigs out there ~ 4:45 today with the biggest group just out & a little south of that ramp. Don't think there's any here either the way it looks.

and 1 about 8 miles north of talmoon!!!!!!! :sleazy: :sleazy:

from my lifelong experiences, smaller lakes have a tendency to collect more snow making flooding/slush happen easier. i posted the picture of our landing. i will be trying pepeterson for crappies but not going to set up the spearhouse there. headed to gunderson for that. maybe set it up also on the little lake behind the old school.

at the moment i dont have what i call the best snow type tires on the truck so get a little leary about how much i can go through right now. i would love to drive out on gunderson,would be alot less work for this old retired guy. :happy1: :rotflmao:

 :scratch: Probably won't like the CR35 access on Bowstring then as I drove through there last weekend & wasn't sure if I was gonna get stuck or not, < 8000 on my tires. Lots of ruts & not plowed. Definitely wouldn't have parked to unloaded in there unless I had the wheeler with the blade on it along.

Chris was working & she showed me a couple scoops of what they had. Never seen any over ~ 6-8" but she said they always get a mix of sizes when then get some. They get a lot of theirs from Fred's & pick 'em up themselves when they are in town. Said their boy who has a shack on Jessie likes the bigger ones.
