i keep hearing that this slush wont freeze up. i just cant fathom that with the low temps forecasted it wont?????????

 

anyone else with thoughts????

Posted

Hard to say. The snow is a great insulator and under the ice it's obviously warmer than freezing. I've seen it stay slushy before. If it was minus 20 for two weeks it would probably harden up.

that the one by tioga beach??? we've helped/sponsored the lets go fishing group with there fishing contests out of there!!!!!!

 

on the particular lake i walked out on there wasnt much snow were i  went. looked like it was all water soaked and starting to freeze up. it wasnt nice clear ice.

Yeah, it's west of the Tioga landing parking area over the hill. Pokegama had a few plowed trails and I saw water in places and where people drove off trail. Buddy took his snowmobile out 5 days ago and said there was slush all over. Looked like only 3 or 4 people fished the pit and it was flooded wherever they walked or punched holes. I passed on it.

i've walked down to that pit. cool little hidden gem. did it once in the winter........they sure werent fishing far from shore. think the wheezy outdoors fish that now and then.

The pit drops off fast. Never go very far out to find fish. A friend just went by north access on Bowstring. Said only 4 fish houses out and two resorts had plowed roads.

You would need a trout stamp to fish that correct??

Posted (edited)

Correct, designated trout lake.

-23 degrees out in GR right now. Saying -25 tonight. This might harden things up a bit.?

What we had here too the last couple nights. Just back from the B store & not many out on Bowstring. Most look to be off TE's roads. Had 2 out here on sleds yesterday. Brrrr!

I used to fish in these temps but I've pretty much got over that. Fishing doesn't seem to be as good during these conditions anyway and I don't have a wheel house to hide in. Once a buddy and I slept in the topper of my truck 8 miles out on Lotw in -32 weather. Won't do that again either.?

These conditions will probably save the lives of more than a few fish.
