As of Friday the 31st, the ice was just a little past the confluence of the Blacks Fork with the Green River. The ice had actually receded slightly over the past week. I have not checked Buckboard yet, but the lake was definitely open just past the confluence. When it is reported that Buckboard is frozen, it is probably that the bay near the marina is frozen (that froze early last year). We need some cold days without the big W to advance the ice sheet southward. The ice at Lost Dog was about 6 inches thick, but was only 2 inches in some places (I had to wave a fourwheeler off, that almost went through a 2 inch thickness area). The fishing was slow over the weekend, but was excellent Thursday afternoon (for rainbows).
