Fishing Forum

I was wondering if anyone knows if one can get a car at least to the boat ramp right now? I may be going up sunday if i can make it in that far. Thanks!

[] Green dodge truck, I will be bringing a wheeler up this time. I want to go to the North end and try fishing a new area or two. Booked a room in Lava for the weekend.

ill be up there saturday in a grey dodge red eskimo shed i heard the edges are gone on chesterfield should i bring a plank?
[signature]

Have not heard about the edges, 20 plus inches of ice. Guess I will bring a plank just in case the edges are rough, then I will have to leave the wheeler on the trailer.

Last weekend the edges were fine. My buddy had his side by side up there with no problems.

I would like to go to Chesterfield but my ole trustee hand auger is no good for that thick of ice. I could do it but I would be tired after one hole. What motel/hotel did you book a room in? My wife works at the lava spa inn

Jeremy a hand auger is all i use and i just go and reopen up a whole that is already there. I've done ten wholes in less then 15 minutes.. Its fun and simple....

Every time I've tried to drill out an old hole it was more trouble than it was worth.

[] Lava Spa is where I am staying. Tell the old lady to cut me better deal on the room and you can use my power auger all day. Only kidding. Lets meet up and go catch some lunkers. I will be in 116 Friday night.

Never been there before but thinking about it this weekend unless the wife decides its open water and wants to put the boat in somewhere would this be the best way to get there

[] Get on 30 and find Nipper road. There is one right left zig zag and it will take you directly to the dam.

[] Blazer road turns into OLD 30. Nipper is on old 30

All i use is a trustee hand auger. It is a pain i admit but its better than the spud bar i grew up using. And ill do just about anything to catch a couple fish![]

Kelly-Toponce Road is paved and is frequently better groomed than Nipper Road.

If you turn off Blaser/Hwy 30 onto Kelly-Toponce you can follow it up and then to the right around in front of the reservoir. From it turn left on to Basin/Nipper to get to the reservoir. Kelly-Toponce is paved while Nipper is gravel.

Other than road surface differences they are both about the same distance.

This is paved most of the way.
