[Chimp]

TAPPER you going out today? ryan

[browning_gold]

what are the ice conditions on washington and is there anyone driving out there yet with trucks?

[deerhunter]

I'd like to help you out but I cant I don't know anything but I would like to get my house out there too let me know if you find anything out

[highlife4me]

Took our house out this evening. Didn't fish but did punch a few holes. Found about 15" average depth. Trucks driving around all over. Not nearly as much snow on ice as I figured there would be. Snow is very hard thanks to all the slush that froze. Went out of third point access. big ice heave in front but stay to the side and no problems even small cars driving out. Access road is very slippery so be careful.

just a note that there will be cars ice racing in front of westwood both days so it might be kind of a mess out there

[fishuhalik]

A good buddy of mine is gonna be in one of those cars. Look for the red eclipse slamming into the snowbanks.

[acesinthehole]

does anyone have any more info, start times?

[dan z]

sounds like a fun time for both types of people racket in one bay makes for better fishing on the other side of the lake, and if the fish arent biting go grab a brew and watch some cars crash into snowbanks.

[BK19]

practice starts @ v races from 10 til 330 these races benefit the salvation army

[BK19]

and it is free to watch but they will take donations

[dan z]

maybe see you out there. I will just look for the bomber hat

I will be wearing a kromer

[Dave S]

I may have to stop by to see if they open the swimming pool at the Westwood access again. Just as long as people don't think they can use it as a parking lot.

[acesinthehole]

Thanks for the info BK I might have to bring my son for a break after the morning bite and stop by.

Thanks

Ace

[BK19]

[fishuhalik]

[Scott Stein]

did they already have there's?

[Scott Stein]

yea they were this past weekend. they had an awesome turnout,tons of people!

[Scott Stein]

I'm assuming people are driving everywhere out there,but just want to know if it's easy going? I was out there when all the slush and stuff was around and there was only one main road out from Westwood. Me and a couple buddys are planning on going tomorrow around noon just wondering if we should bring sleds/wheelers or if we can drive out? Thanks

[sunnyhunter]

I was out yesterday and it was easy going from the north access. I was told there are many road plowed out from westwood to bakers. You can get from one access to the other I was told.

[katophil]

[katophil]

Watch the roads close lots of soft spots and standing water.

[TruthWalleyes]

Yeah there is! Made the trip ok in my Bonneville yesterday tho! Saw a lot of four wheel drive vehicles stuck

[riverrat56]

Thanks for the updates.

Although most area lakes are safe for vehical traffic, it is still a good idea to use tons of caution. The ice conditions can change very quicky with any type of warm up.
