gsambray 172 Report post Posted February 1, 2016 I'm going to be there on the long weekend and hope the ice is ok. May take a ride out to see this weekend if no one had posted. I'm expecting slush and slush and more slush on top of less than a foot of ice. But I could be wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naden 136 Report post Posted February 1, 2016 All of the lakes between whitefish and northern lights are very slushy and current areas that are normally frozen by now are open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam_k 19 Report post Posted February 2, 2016 I fished arrow yesterday there was 10" of ice were we were, fishing was slow fished sunup till sundown caught 2 but LOTS of slush on the lake and the water poored out of the holes when I drilled so much more slush to come!

adam_k 19 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 On arrow right now and ice conditions are the same 10-11 inches of ice with a fair bit of slush..fishing was ok this morning caught 2 but has slowed down a lot since 9 am . Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tozer08 13 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 Do you think a quad with chains would make it on the lake? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam_k 19 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 we're I am it would be pretty risky prob a foot of snow and 6 inches of slush underneath it you would have to be going pretty fast I would say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tronnyd88 25 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 a really lively medium minnow has aways worked best for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tozer08 13 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 Pearl white size 06 clackin rap worked wonders last year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsambray 172 Report post Posted February 5, 2016 Agreed with the clackin rap. Worked great last year for me too. Also a 4inch white tube tipped with a large minnow or sucker minnow. Both were the only two things used last winter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbear 24 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 We fished on Saturday morning and managed to catch 6 fish. It was pretty slushy in places and had deep snow drifted in others. It was more of a challenge keeping the kids feet dry. We used white tube jigs and managed one fish on a set mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
