We have been having crazy weather the last week or so, warm and too much wind. Antero opened up about 30% but the shorelines also opened up. There is a lot of ice floating but no good way to get on it. Eleven Mile also opened back up. Tarryall has 6-10 solid inches. Williams Fork is open. Blue Mesa has 1-7 inches in the Iola basin but still some water in Iola as well. Taylor has 1-6 inches with a small area still open in the inlet and an area that just froze last night out in the middle. San Cristobal is 50% ice with ice ranging in the 1-8 inch range. Our other lakes are open water.  Since we are in early ice conditions, these numbers can change daily so always check ice yourself before fishing.  

Safety precautions:

As always, check ice for yourself and don’t assume any ice is safe.  We see too many people running out on ice without checking, just because they see people out there.  Pressure ridges and late freezing spots can cause weak areas in the ice.  Fish with a buddy, use a spud bar to check as you go, have ice picks and a throwable with a rope, and always keep an eye on early ice conditions. 

Tight lines and enjoy the season!
