I decided to get out of the house yesterday afternoon (2/8/15) for a quick drive-by at Lost Creek. Headed up about 3pm, not a soul on the ice-- temperature was 50'F, maybe that had something to do with it. I was able to drive around to the east side across from the boat ramp. The edges looked solid, however I did not venture out as I was by my lonesome. Threw a couple of 10lb boulders on the ice and other than a soft inch or so of slush they held. I think I will wait for the open water myself.
One thing I am positive of is the deer and elk are having a great winter. Heading out at sundown I was able to spot a couple of large herds of elk up high to the east, and came up close and personal with a group of 5 bucks on the road out. For those who care, all the bigger bucks still had both sides of antlers, only one smaller 2 point had lost a side already.
