Just wondering if it's possible to get on the ice at Scofield? Has anyone been lately.
Thanks

I'll take an update on Scofield along with richy31.
Just might have to get out this weekend.
[cool][#0000ff]Haven't been many reports lately. But, from a couple of personal reports I have received, the ice is thick and the snow and slush has been deep too. The bad part is that the fishing has slowed to almost nothing, compared with the early season. That is typical of Scofield...much better right after first ice. Light levels and oxygen levels drop as the ice gets thicker and the fish are much less active. When you do get bites they are very light and tentative. Tough fishing. There are better places to go.[/#0000ff]

From the current UDWR report:
"[size 1]SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Sergeant Stacey Jones reported slow fishing at Scofield last weekend. Early morning anglers, who fished the north end in 12 to 15 feet of water, reported the best action. They used ice flies and bait, suspended about a crank off the bottom. Stacey estimated that anglers creeled about one fish per hour. Lake access was difficult. Stacey said that 4-wheelers didn't have a chance. Snow machines had to maintain enough speed to keep from bogging down. Foot travel was so exhausting that most anglers stayed within 50 feet of the shoreline." [/size]
