Does anyone have a report of the Hyrum ice conditions? I am hoping that this cold snap will bring some safe ice up there as well.

Thanks,

Last year it was a couple days after Mantua that Hyrum froze. In fact it was the same day Willard Bay froze. I tried to go fishing in my boat that morning and everything close was solid. Hyrum is quite a bit lower this year too so I expect it will cap in the next week and be safe four or five days later. Just my guess. Later J

Thanks guys.

I am hoping to get my kids out there sometime over the break. I have never ice fished there, but it seems like they have a good variety and amount of fish there. Hopefully we can have a good time with the kids. Any tips on where to go or what to use?

Thanks!

If this cold snap stays a week as in years past I believe safe ice by the end of the week.

If you want to check for ice at Hyrum do a Google search for Hyrum Dam Cam and you can see current conditions... By the way no ice yet, but there was a lot of steam coming off this morning.... Looked like it's really cooling now... Anyway the water is enough lower this year that I will be looking for new fishing spots as well, but down by the spill way on the north west corner is usually good, but there is some current there so the ice conditions can be sketchy at times... When the water is high, the South East end is good fishing, but it's pretty shallow up there now. I have been finding some fish trolling off the swim beach and along the south side of the reservoir... Easiest places to get to will be the spill way and swim beach areas and around the boat ramp is also good at times.... Good luck and as the reports start more info will be available to help you find the best spots... Follow the crowds, they usually go where the fish are biting best... Later J
