Man say it isn’t so, looks like the ice is gone off the Bear River in Benson today. There was 6-7” Monday when I fished it but it was open water this morning. Bummer I had plans to get on those River carp soon. That probably means no ice for Bear Lake this year again and the whole ice season is starting to wind down already. Crazy because the temps seem to be staying below freezing but I guess it’s just not cold enough. Later J

Mouth of both marinas at Willard have stretches of open water and they've started to move water down to Willard. The ice inside both marinas has shrunk by half.

Man I thought we'd get another week or two before it started to break, but I'm afraid we're on the downward slide back into open water season... My warning to folks would be not to wait too long to get your ice fishing in cause by mid February it will probably be over except for maybe Strawberry and the high elevation lakes... I may have to burn some leave next week to get out a little bit before it's over... Dang I hate to see it starting to end so soon... Later J
