Any conformations of Ice? Im fairly sure there is but 100% conformation would be nice before I drove up there lol.

Plenty of ice. No need to worry. Might want a board for the edges to avoid the slush. The edges are always soft. I was out there Saturday.

How was the fishing? Do you mostly just catch perch in the winter?

Fishing was slow, but I caught fish. I have been out there half a dozen times this winter and have always caught fish. Perch, crappie, bluegill, and the occasional bass. Muskie if you are lucky.

Had a cavailer to take up there. Hard to find any parking.Finally found little cubby hole by the damn. Had 1/4 mile hike through 3ft-4ft snow drifts towing 100lbs of gear to find Major slush issues. Tried a few spots. Sank up to my knees. Wasn't able to get on the lake after 3 hour drive up there. Not a happy camper lol. Left wet, pissed and exhausted. There was no one on the lake.

Pineview pretty much same story. Was able to get on the lake but prolly standing in 6 inches of slush. Talked to one crazy guy by the damn. Said slush was pretty bad there too. I couldn't park where he was and the hike back up in easily 4ft of snow made my decision easy... GO HOME lol. Got tomorrow still. Gonna try and find out if yuba has good ice

Sorry to hear that! That really stinks. Crazy how conditions change from day to day. I was hoping to head to Pineview this weekend. We will see.
