Morning everyone. Yesterday I read an article on fishing Ririe. I cant remember where it was, but it said that the slush and snow combined with the increase in soft ice was making it almost impossible to get on the ice to fish. It said that walking was really tough let alone those with ATV's trying to get around. I guess with the amount of rain and warm temps we got yesterday, its gonna make it even more unstable and tough. Is anyone seeing the ice start to melt out and open up? It should be about ready for breakup. I remember in some past years getting on the water about this time of year so we should be close. Anyone doing any good still? Oh, the article also said that most fish being caught were within the top 5ft of water and then down over 40ft as this was where the oxygen levels were at. F&G werent concerned about fish kill due to lack of oxygen as deep as the reservoir is.
