Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
The pond near my place has about an inch or 2. Anybody know if the seep lakes have skimmed over yet?
Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
The boat basin at the Coulee City park is frozen over. Several years ago when I lived in Entiat I used to ice fish this basin for perch and it seems we always did pretty good but it was some what of a drive. Now that I live in Coulee City I'm thinking about going down and sitting on the dock, punching a hole in the ice and giving it a try. If I do any good I will post a report.
Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
Yesterday I heard from a guy that had just driven past Sprague Lake and said there was a skim of ice on the entire lake

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
I've got a buddy that lives spitting distance from there. I can ask him to check it out. The little pond by me has about 3" on it. Maybe more,. I could jump and have it not crack (220#). Find out more Saturday
Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
That would be awesome. Thank you.
Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
I am thinking about a trip out to Elokia to ice fish this Monday, December 19th. Has anyone checked the ice conditions there?

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
I have seen pictures of several folks on the ice in the area of the I 90 bridge in Moses Lake, it looks like the perch are running about 12" to 13".
Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
Anyone know how curlew lake is right now? Would like to try going after some of the perch that is in it now. Been a long time since I've been up there in winter.

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
Moses ice is about 5-6" what I got from trip state outfitters. Bear lake over by Spokane has 5" of good good ice. And 2-3" of water on top with 1" of ice on top of that. So once it freezes all the way though. There'll be alot of ice.

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
I was at Moses lake today with 7'' of ice, and saw people ice fishing Sprague lake. At Hog Canyon yesterday there was about 5-6'' of ice with some water on the ice in a few spots.

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
I'll have to venture out to Sprague and try my hand at those massive trout there. Have any luck at Moses?

Re: Ice Reports 2016-2017
Guys were fishing around harper island at the west end and near the south shore next to the resort. Yes Moses was great, was catching average of 10''-13'' perch with two at 14.5'', and one dink walleye. I didn't even bother fishing near i-90 at all, clear solid ice anywhere I explored though.
