Any ice reports from Strawberry in the last day or two?

[Kent]

I just called The Strawberry Marina and was told that they are not advising anyone to venture out on the ice. I have received extremely conservative advice from them before, so I was hoping to get a recent report from someone who has been up there.

I'm not an ice fisherman, so take this with a grain of salt.....but a report on this site from last weekend had people out on snowmobiles on very solid ice that was reported to be close to 30" thick still. I have a hard time believing that only a couple days of nice weather followed up by what we've gotten the last 2 days would do anything significant to that situation.

i called the marina on tuesday , and they reported to me that the ice was still thick and there was lots of ice fisherman out . and wouldnt expect ice off for at least another 2 weeks.

Strange that two days later I am told by an employee of The Strawberry Marina that they are recommending not to get on the ice.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#000000][size 2]"STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR: (May 1) Ice fishing is not recommended. A recently drilled hole showed several layers of bad ice, slush, water, etc. Only about six to eight inches of the ice was considered somewhat solid but there are several cracks on the ice surface, a lot of slush in places and water level is rising which provides unsafe conditions around the edges. Though yesterday's storm froze up the edges a bit, warmer weather can make ice weak in a short amount of time. A little bit of open water at the ladders and Indian Creek. DWR biologist Justin Robinson guesstimates another two to three weeks before ice off, "[/size][/#000000][/font]
