Pineview will scare the crap out of you. Theres plenty of ice under the two inches of melted ice that is now slush, but if we get more warm weather pineview may be unfisable by the end of next week. You wont catch me back out there again this year. The ice melt from last saturday is amazing. Theres lots of depressions holding the water on top of the ice and the crust is soft and sluhy, you will need a plank to get on pineview as well. One guy fell through today trying to get on without a board. Looks like the ice fishing is about over for the year. I am guessing mantua is very unsafe if it is anything like hyrum and pineview. I am passing on the ice fishing for saturday and breaking out the boat so it will be ready for next weekend. Looks like a walleye trip to yuba or willard is in order.
