Bowstring Crappies

[eyeguy 54]

Got a report that crappies are biting good. Snowmobile traffic is fine but nothing else.

Thanks Royce.

2nd hand info but I heard some wheelers where out there too 

[eyeguy 54]

Not good to take wheelers out unless maybe some proven spots.

I agree. I'm definitely going up. More then likely staying by the 2 lakes by the cabin. It's more of a check things out trip. With that being said with the warm temps this next week alot can change.

 

If nuttin else I'll have plenty of beer.

Was up this week. Accesses are not plowed, went out of a resort. Had snowmobiles but there were a few wheelers out. 

[eyeguy 54]

Cool. Hopefully not getting stuck 

[smurfy]

odd?????? I just looked at Geigers webcam...…...looks like they plowed there access shut????????

 

not a lot of activity on the narrows cams either.

[eyeguy 54]

Geigers was closed pretty much all winter. Terrible conditions. Bens four wheeler still stuck out there about 1/2 mile I think. 

[Harv]

I wasn't out there,  but 2 buddies were and said they graphed fish but only got a few to bite.   I think you may have to switch to small plastics.

[eyeguy 54]

Probably a good idea. Buddy said he saw two trucks out yesterday. Flirting with danger! 

[merc]

I wonder how trucks got out there. Maybe the west access? No way I would be out there in a truck. Most of the ice is just frozen slush.

[PRO-V]

My buddy that has a camp up there and saw a couple trucks out. I don't remember if he said Otenagen landing or right through Trails End.

[eyeguy 54]

Not Geigers trails end. They went out public access just south of there.

That NW PA is only 3 miles from our place & if the weather is decent I'll ride the wheeler down there often. Usually about now there's a pretty decent pressure ridge forming there making it tough to get out there too

[eyeguy 54]

The one south of Geigers by northern acers?or on  north end

Yeah, the 1 next door to Northern Acres. There's a sign calling it the NW Bowstring Acess, the other 1 I call the Co Rd 35 PA & has a LOT more parking. We must be 5-6 miles from that. Check that 1 out quite often too, usually on Sunday when we're on our way over to the Bstore for a paper or once in a while   when we're on our way over to Riley's too.

It looks like there's a wheeler on the ice  in front of Geigers's access the last couple mornings.

That might be Ben’s from the resort. His has a broken axle for two months and I dint think they took it off yet 

[gunner55]

Thanks eyeguy, it's tough to make out what it really is on their webcam.

[eyeguy 54]

Bens rig is by landing now. 

[eyeguy 54]

Just watched him pull it off lake on the web cam. trying to find out if access being used. I see tracks. 

[merc]

There was a wheeler pulling a flip over house came off this morning. I watched them pull that machine off also. Looked like a ZTR lawnmower with tracks on. I'm confused.
