Ice fishing has started!

[Icedaddy22]

Taylor Reservoir should be ready to go very soon. I called the Grand Mesa lodge to see if Island lake was frozen. I was sure that with the 10,700 elevation that it would be. But the lady said that all the snowpack insulates the ice and delays freezing, she said it was only a couple inches thick. But I have also heard it usually freezes by the first week of December at the latest, so I'm not sure what to believe. But with these chill temperatures that finally hit, it might be ready by the weekend. Want to hit it for some brookies, rainbows, and splake. Heck I'd even like to catch a few suckers for lake trout bait later in the year.
