I only live an hour from Scofield and could fish off the docks if I have to. Otherwise I would need a partner (hint, hint) or fish near others for the safety factor. Does anybody know how thick the ice is at Scofield? If anyone goes up during or after this cold snap I would appreciate knowing how it's going. Or any other spots, for that matter. Thanks in advance.
Sorry I can't make it, but hopefully we'll find some cow elk tomorrow and be free the rest of the month. I see the closest Sno-Tel site to our hunting area has 19" of snowpack, but we will be 1,000 feet lower...
Reports on FB indicate that Scofield dam arm has a small fishable area, with 1-3 inches reported over the rest of the lake. With lows in the single digits and highs in the 20s to low 30s, it should be making some ice. Not sure where the docks have been placed this year. Also not sure how much snow they got right at the lake, but it may cause access and slush issues. Surrounding Sno-Tel sites (at higher elevations): Mammoth has 15" of snow, Payson Ranger Station has 11", White River and Indian Canyon each have 11" snowpack.
Good luck and be careful!
