12/20/23 Blue Mesa Ice Report

Blue Mesa Reservoir 12/20/23:

Ice thickness is ranging from 6-14 inches with most spots being 10-12 inches east of the Hwy 149 bridge. Ice is slowly making it’s way into the Iola Basin.  Most fish are being caught in 10-30 ft of water and switching colors and moving around seemed to produce the best action.

Always be cautious on early ice and follow these safety suggestions when venturing out.

-Always test ice thickness yourself, don’t just walk out because there are other people out there. 

-Fish with a partner.

-Pay attention to the conditions as things can change quickly, especially when there are close to 32 degree temps and wind. 

-Bring ice picks, 100’ of rope, a throwable flotation device and/or life vest, a spud bar to test ice as you walk, and ice cleats as new ice with snow is very slippery.
