Tibble Fork warning

[blackhab]

The ice fishing is probably done at tibble fork until we get another cold spell. The fishing was good today but the ice was disappearing rapidly and I had a partner pull a non fisherman out of the water after he tried to rescue his dog. It got really scary watching all the kids walking across what little ice was left to go sledding or just to see how close to the edge of the ice they could get. Too much open water for the parents to not watch their kids, someone could get hurt. We even had to chase three kids off that were trying to break the ice open. They managed some nice cracks. They just don't realize how dangerous that can be.

Dude its solid ice in the middle. What are you talking about!!! By the main river and dam area is rarely safe because you got the main river and the small creek is flowing 24/7. Is that where they dumb people were walked around and fell through if so they are really smart to hit those areas but in the middle its 9-10" of solid ice. I will be up there probably next week too prove the ice is still safe []

I was up there on Saturday morning and the ice was super sketchy. I got there before light and didn't dare get on it. I was there on Tuesday night and the ice was probably 6 inches or so in the middle. I didn't measure but it was safe then. I would bet at 50% of the ice that was there on Tuesday was no longer there yesterday am. I was blown away that so much melting had taken place. Damn rain/ice storm on Thursday I guess

My father and I just hit Tibble. It is only about 1/3 frozen and the rest is open water. We did ice fish it, and were on about 6" of cloudy ice, some slush forming on top. Fishing was fast and we caught a few "good" ones - 14-16", and a ton of stockers. The ice is not looking great, but was fishable with a ton of caution. We did loose a lot of ice in just the time we were there the open water had crept closer, I have no idea what the coming weeks will hold for tibbles' ice.
