My brother did a drive by Rock Port , Echo, East canyon. He said all were sketchy no one on the ice gaps on edges. He said Rockport had some large pressure cracks open out in the lake.
He said there was a little re-freezing as it was below freezing when he was out. Ice was cracking and popping a bit so some firming up may be happening?
With the forecast of below freezing predicted for about a week of cold to very cold and temps below freezing 24 hours a day starting tonight , we may see conditions get back to safe to get on?? Late next week MAYBE?
With that said with big cracks open you could have safe ice then an area with thin refrozen “unsafe” especially if covered with snow to obscure it.
So be smart use great caution and good judgement , always better to be safe than sorry. This year especially conditions can change rapidly!!
BE CAREFULL! Hopefully others will post more updates. Thanks to my brother for update!

Like many others not too happy with the unseasonable warm weather this past week, I am seeking any information regarding updates of the ice conditions and edges at many of the lakes. Pineview? Rockport? East Canyon? Echo? etc. Is a plank needed to get on the ice? Ice integrity? Hoping to get out again somewhere this weekend. I am hoping that I do not have to begin the long drive to Strawberry yet. Any updates are appreciated?

"Ice Fish Baby"?? |

So what do we ice fishermen..and women..do when we can't go ice fishing? Can't do Rockport, probably not Echo or East Canyon, Willard Bay out of the picture, there's no perch at Strawberry, so why go there, Hyrum and Mantua never amounted to much this season, and may not be accessible anyhow...what do we do? watch ice fishing videos on Youtube? go for long walks? (I did today, didn't scratch my itch to be ice fishing)..maybe listen to "Ice Fish Baby" over and over on CD, etc.?.."here I'm sittin' at this hole, with a 3' pole,..there goes my line..is it a KEEPER?".. I almost went out and did some yard work yesterday, but the 45 mph winds straightened out my wavy thinking...So what do we do??

I have a brand new, in box Illex gas heater. Can be used for ice fishing, camping, etc. It is light in weight, comes with a mesh travel bag. It runs on butane cans which will last 3-4 hrs depending on the setting. I have one and use it a lot, but this is an extra one that I have never used. The sale price on this heater was $33.99. The first $20 takes it. Can pick up in Cache Valley (Logan area). Instruction book included.
I'll be happy to send pics since this BFT sites SUCKS and will not allow pics to be attached!!! Just respond below if you want me to text or email you pics.

Anyone tried Mantua or Newton Reservoir lately? Kinda quiet on the northern front, especially with the warmer weather this week. I've heard lots of dink perch being caught at Mantua and not too much of anything else. Newton reports are kinda quiet.

Fished DC, just from shore throwing spinners and spoons. Not any safe ice I could see, couple of boats out on the lake, dam end.
Wallsburg had ice, but looked bad, I caught a fat feisty one from the inlet area.
Rainbow bay was open but from the state park and island area it looked like thin and broken ice with open spots.
Jordonelle is pretty much ice free. There may be a little up the Rock Cliff arm but not that I could see from the highway so it was way back in if it was. Managed another fat feisty bow on a small spoon from the launch side.
Windy, from the south but if you could find a sheltered spot it wasn't bad.

“Perch Alfredo” recipe |

Had a request on other thread and replied , thought I would put it out in case anyone interested..
Here you go. Perch Alfredo recipe!
Super good and easy ! Make a simple béchamel sauce. (White sauce) 2-2-1 …..2 parts butter (TBLS.) 2 parts flour (TBLS ) 1 cup milk or half in half. Melt butter in sauce pan, then add in flour stir and sauté it just a minute or two on medium heat until the flour absorbed/blended just a minute or so don’t brown or burn. Then Add milk/ or half in half while stirring (*tip… heat milk/H&H in microwave till very warm before adding) it keeps it from being lumpy that way and easier to blend in. Constantly Stir and heat until it thickens to just below boil. Watch heat so it doesn’t burn. At this point point you can add just a little more liquid to get the desired thickness wanted, if needed ( white wine, milk, half half , chicken stock) add spices to your taste, like garlic powder , lemon pepper, dash of salt, dash of old bay or other spice you like, Add a little grated Parmesan cheese. Then drop perch fillets into the sauce and gently stir them in over med heat just until the fish starts to get flakey and fall apart, don’t over stir so you have nice pieces of fish in the cream sauce. Serve over pasta or rice. Top with a little more Parmesan cheese!
It’s Yummy!! Enjoy!!! It’s very good!!
One thing I do on occasion for a change of pace shake in a little crystal hot sauce to taste (or other) and serve over a piece of toast!!
