Taylor Reservoir 12/20/23 Ice Report

Taylor Reservoir: 

Ice thickness is 4-6 inches across most of the lake with some spots having less. The lake trout are feeding good where you can access them. Rainbows are fishing good above weed beds and have been a few pike being caught shallow above weeds.  

The marina is not plowed so the only parking is right off the highway, which is very limited. It’s a pretty intensive trek to come back up the hill at the end of the day. Nobody has brought snowmobiles or ATVs on the ice yet. There are some sketchy pressure ridges and large cracks, so approach them with extreme caution and safety equipment.

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.
