I know that they were safe last weekend and that Strawberry had crust and slush. I am hopping for one last local outing (Pineview or Rockport) with my 3 yr old grandson, before I start heading to Strawberry. I am not too worried about the catching, more about ice safety and edges.
Thanks!
I hope this isn't too late, but I fished Rockport yesterday. The ice was 7 inches thick and solid but the edges were very poor. The storms early in the week might have raised the water level some and the warm temps were wreaking havoc on the edges also. Got a little wet coming back in midday. Today hasn't helped the edges, I'm sure. The entire west side looked similar to where I fished. Maybe with a plank, you might be able to do it but I would skip Rockport personally.
