Just got off Hyrum. Ice was 8+ inches everywhere we were. Edges were fine also. Some spots of a little open water on the edge but nothing to worry about really.

I would like too. But my job has me doing a 2 day derby at Fish Lake on the 17th and 18th. Hell they even give me the credit card to buy the prizes do you believe that.... It's a tough Job but somebody has to do it. But all this talk before the Derby I hope we get to know who really catches the money makers. LOL I got my $80 bucks back from the Maniac Derby I am still trying to talk him out of one of the free tackle boxes of Maniac goodies. You guys let me know if there is any BFT members that win. I got a 4th place trophy last year out of Idaho. Boy did that money spend fast. I am just happy to see a few ice fishing derbies being put together this year. Cause I like to go gizzy buggin'.

So how was the fishing? I am thinking about going in the morning.

Water is still murky. Fishing was slow. Managed to land a handful of drinks. All rainbows. Caught them at a depth of 10 feet.

Definitely some murky water - anywhere we drilled. Slower for me. At least shook the skunk, and got a chance to 'get to know' my new Finder.
FINALLY figured out where to turn off the Fish-ID, so my jig didn't keep telling me there were HOARDS of fish under me! Did get a chance to watch a fish come up, ignore, and move away, plus - play the - "oh your at THAT depth, ok, now you're at THAT depth - swing".
Now I believe in Flasher-Mode! Way cool!
Tried from 20ft to 40ft - still no perch. Trout seemed to be passing through at 10ft, as Ben sez.
Not my best day at Hyrum - and that ice is slick as snot! Edges were a little bubbly by afternoon, but very managable. Several wheelers, and sleds cruising by. Ice sure was talking once the sun came up!
Just kinda freaky to hear a crack start over 'there-left' and travel underneath you and end up over 'there-right'. Seems like the top inch or two are fresh on top of a good 6-8 inches of solid ice.
Just might have to go try it again!
Whats the info on the fish lake derby.
There is no derby at fishlake sorry

Be careful on fish lake sounds like there has been some soft spots and a few people going in.

Yes I have family down there they told me about the guy going through at twin creeks. We will be careful going out on old ice. Thanks for the update. Pikeman99
