Thinking of going to the Gorge next Friday. Does any body have an up date on the ice and the fishing?
Never there fished through the ice. Fish it allot in the summer.
Thanks

I am wondering as well. We are thinking of going this weekend or next weekend. I cant imagine its gotten worse with the weather forecast. I would actually rather have a private message if anyone wants to share anything.
Thanks in advance....

I was told by Ryno that there is safe ice all the way down to pipeline. Don't know about the fishing though sorry for only half an answer.

We fished there Saturday 9th. We went to Sqaw Hollow and fished just south of there. The ice is roughly 6 inches everywhere we drilled. We walked all the way across and back! What a workout it has a couple inches of snow on it so it wasn't too slick. There was plenty of people out on the ice all were afoot except one guy came by on a 4wheeler he was blowing down the lake and passed by at about 50 yards and I could feel the ice kind of wave and the water in my hole surged up and down. We stayed until dark and never did see him come back by? As for the fishing this trip was rough. We were targeting mac in areas we fish in open water. We found fish but they were not biting much my buddy caught one pup and I got skunked! The roads were snowy but we didn't have any trouble driving around.

thanks for the report. There isn't so much snow down there that youd need a snowmachine to get around is there? Ive always used a wheeler or walked

A wheeler will get around just fine. We walked close to 2 miles just to hit a couple spots and it was a workout for sure. Next time I will have my wheeler or something. I would feel a little better with a bit more ice though. I did not see any pressure ridges. I think you need a foot of ice on the gorge to really be safe IMO
