Shaun_300 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 It's a few weeks late but we finally got it. Golden Lake froze over on Thursday evening. Crazy me decided I wanted to know how thick it was today. Went out about 3 feet off shore, there was about 1 1/2" of ice, went out a little farther and got to the point where my chisel would go through with one swipe. (about 1/2") There was only a little more foot of water where I was though, so if I did go through I'd just get a wet foot. I won't go out to where I fish until there's at least 4".

mehunter Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: We have ice!!!! Finally! We finally got our first snow today here. Lakes and ponds haven't even thought of freezing over yet. Good luck with the fishing.... I'll just have to shoot coyotes till it does so it's not all bad.

Mountaineer Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Re: We have ice!!!! Finally! Trout fished yesterday and got a SUN BURN! Last year I was freezing this time of the year at the lake. None of the lakes around here really freeze up anyways, but this weather is crazy!
