Willard completely ice free! - NiteFisher - 03-26-2008
Drove by Williard today on my way to Tremonton and thought I'd report. No ice as far as the eye can see! Thought that would be important info for a few people. My only experience at Willard was last year off the shore. I hooked something and fought it for a minute before it broke off. I hope to have a better experience this year. PS watch out for the mosquitos. I saw hundreds of columns of them hatching in the swampy fields.

I fished it tonight and it is completely ice free except for the huge ice berg on the island. No fish caught but it should get better soon. Water temp was in the 50's.[

] What you saw was more than likely midges, not mosquitos. While there are a few mosquitos out already, Willard is famous for the column after column of midges. They drive most people crazy because of thier numbers, but they do not bite or stick you. I'm ready for the fish bite to begin. Bring it on.

Reason there is NO ice is because there is NO water!!![

Tell me about it. I usually try to fill up my time getting back into shape during the winter months. I do not ice fish, but I do love river fishing. I have been doing alot around the house (new carpet, hardwood floors, tile, etc. etc.), excuses to be lazy I suppose. I just want to put my boat on the water and go, go go!!!!

Any particular reason that you do not Ice fish. I think ice fishing is a very relaxing experience. Sitting there on some frozen water thinking about wohat is swimming under and all.

I would not say lazy, it sounds more like Fish planning. Do all the chores in the house in the winter and than when you want to go fishing you can always say remember I did ... fill in the blank.

no no no, hes plain 'ole lazy [
] he has plenty of opertunities to head up to the Bear river, and the Weber River but stays at home where its warm. i think he doesent like to ice fish cause he is finally starting to admit hes getting old, and unless he has a shanty where he can drink beer and watch tv it wont appeal to him [][signature]
