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.
