Grantsville Ice Conditions? - EvilTyeDyeTwin - 01-11-2012
Usually I hate reading questions on here....but I am just dying to know....how are the ice conditions at Grantsville? Seems like it is cold enough during the night for some ice formation. Kinda a long drive for a poor college kid, so any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Come on I know someone on here has been out there. Thanks in advance.

I have family out there, I could find out later maybe. Reports I have heard says there is ice but how safe?????? That is the ONLY body of water I have EVER walked on and of course reason for this is I also fell through to mid calf...cured me of ice fishing all together. That was a few years back though.
I thought you swore off G? How has LD been?

I swore off summer/fall fishing Grantsville. With the pontoon down and no boat that place is one tuff place to fish. There are some nice fish in there though. Got 1 bow on the line that was a beauty. Call me stubborn but I want to give it a try on the hard deck.
A buddy of mine (Aquaman) was at LD last friday. He said it was half capped with thin ice. He managed some of the usual number of cutts. Seems like when I was there last they were hangin at the inlet in the shallows....or out in the deeper areas along the shore. Best fishing there is right before dark. At least they are getting fatter.

I bet some Grantsville local is grinding their teeth now cause they know I am gonna go down there and post about it.[

Heard plenty of stories about it. Kinda hard to find any parking. Last I heard UHP will tow your car if parked on the side of the highway. Plus last time we went by there, there were some construction crews.

Check the weather reports especially for wind I fished the hard deck there a couple of years ago in the wind. It really sucked. but like you said there are some nice fish in there.

Yep we windsurf that place. Nothing like a steady southwest wind at Grantsville. Someties the North wind can be good too. At least when there isn't wind there is fishing!

Sorry guys, my nephew hasn't been out there, so no word on the ice. I can't even guess, because it is lower elevation and heck Deer Creek still hasn't iced.
Good luck and waiting for the report.

Looks like you asked this question a few weeks ago, but I wanted to throw in my two cents none the less. I was out there Sat, Jan 28th and it was wide open waters! Not a stich of ice except for some along the south shore (maybe 4 feet out) as well as on the south boat ramp. I was excited since I don't have ice fishing gear and actually had a chance to cast my line out there! Let me know if you need a report....I'm heading up there Fri/Sat ish and hoping for open waters again!
