So I am getting out Wednesday morning for some bad weather fishing. I was planning on Scofield but heard that as of Sunday, access was about impossible. Anyone been up there in the last day or two? How much open water is there? Enough to fish? PM if you would like.
Also, if Scofield is unfishable, how is the ice on Strawberry holding up? Enough for one last trip on Wednesday? Thanks in advance for any responses with recent observations!

I called the marina a strawberry yesterday and she said there was no open water. I am not sure if that is just there as she looks out the window at the marina or the whole lake in general.

Drove by strawberry on Sunday. There was no open water in sight and they still had the road to the dam closed. It looked like people were still cruising around on snow machines as I saw a bunch of parked trailers. Don't know if they were actually out on the ice or not.

Any recent updates? I would like to either ice fish Strawberry or boat fish the dam arm at Scofield. Anyone drive by either in the last 2 days? Thanks.

I read it Kent. I read every post on here most of the time. What do you think about ice fishing Strawberry on Saturday with this recent cold front. Supposed to be a high of 32 degrees at Strawberry tomorrow.

I would think that if one is walking the ice would be fine in the morning and sloppy in the PM. If you are going to use a snowmobile -- who knowsl.

Thanks. We will be walking. I was planning on fishing the marina at the boat ramp or towards the boy scout camp or fishing CCE. WHere would you recommend?

I have landed 11 fish on my prior two trips to Strawberry, so your guess on where to try is probably better than mine. I have never heard of an area called "the boy scout camp".
[signature]
That is referring to the campsites west of the marina. I don't want to tempt fate by walking too far on the ice and I will have some newbies with me. I am hoping that CCE will produce.

I have never ice-fished CCE -- only from my boat. I received reports from the DWR officers almost two weeks ago that they were doing well (including catching many rainbows) on Soldier Creek next to Highway 40.

I wonder if we could get all the way into the soldier creek boat ramp on Saturday? Was their still a ton of snow up there?

I doubt that the road will be open to vehicle traffic.
