Ice Report: 26 in
South access point and half way up along west side

Fished for 3 hours. Landed one pike (55 cm), missed a couple

Fished from noon to 4 and saw a half dozen on the cam. Only one bit and I landed it on the ice. Lil bugger ! Water is kinda murky can only see about ten feet out. Better luck next time. That's why it's called fishing not catching.

Seen lots of pike on the cam but no bites..

Thank you for the info

Lol Yes I know I just want to give it a try in the spring

Smitty..its ice fishing season at the moment ..LOL but the rest of the year you can fish from the shore or boat.

Can you fish from the shore or do you need a boat?

Much better fishing this time..landed 7 missed about 15 ..

Better fishing this time..we landed a few differnt size pike.

Ice is 11-12 inches on the north side east of the boat launch.

Fished from 2-4. No interest in little lures. A half dozen pike showed up when I deadsticked a savage gear line thru burbot (smallest size). Three of those fish committed. Water was clear enough to see down to the bottom in 10'.

Ice Report: 9 in
9” at north end by launch

Ice Report: 5 in
North end is 5”

Ice at 3 inch

Landed a few from the shore but no keepers..still had fun. ..harsh weeds..i used top water frog lures.. looking forward to up coming ice fishing season

Fish lake often,not many large fish but many just shy of keeper size. We fish in water that is about 8 to 10 feet and have fair success.

A lot of weeds all around the lake, recommend using top water lure

Went yesterday and the weeds were too thick on the north end of the lake for any boating or fishing.

Never been to Coal Lake but am interested since it is close. Is it deep enough to put a 20' Bayliner on or is that too much boat for it?

Thinking about going today. Is the ice good still. Gonna be using my quad. Any trails in the area?

How's the fishing here? Anyone catching?

From north launch to first bend On with my truck. Good solid ice

Thanks for your reply duckhunter33 and Riverbear! I try not to drive on the icy lake. If the ice is very thick, I'll drive on it. Merry Christmas to everybody!

Ram traffic starts. Lol. Btw if you are really nervous. Open your doors too. If the front goes in (god forbid) the doors should hopefully catch better ice.

Seatbelts off, windows down. Should be good to drive on with this cold snap we have had all week.

I was always scared to drive on an icy lake. What are safety points for driving on icy lakes?

Anyone know what the road condition is like leading down to coal lake ?

Fished on the North end on both Friday and Saturday... Ice thickness is between 11-12 inches.. People are driving on.. Cars, SUV's, Mini Vans and Trucks..

@duckhunter...was fishing there 2 weeks ago and there was 8" on the north end, drove by last weekend and saw a 1/4 ton pickup on it

Anyone driving out on the lake yet?
