ORIGINAL: BLance My daughter and I were out walking around the lake yesterday. Seen like a half a dozen guys out from Golden Run fishing. Didn't see any cars in the lot that I recognized so I didn't walk out. I'm not an ice fisherman and as I've gotten older I've found that I really have no idea what "safe ice" is and because of that I'm less likely to take my chances walking out on the ice than I would have as a kid (my increacing waist line doesn't help either). We also went down to the campground, road bed and 846. What I'm curious about is why it seems like the only place guys ice fish is out from Golden Run and not the rest of the lake. Ice seemed "as good" in these other areas as it did at GR to my uneducated eye. Other than some animals there were absolutely no tracks in these other spots. Is it that the ice is usually not as safe in these other areas or is it just that there's more fish/better fishing near Golden Run? Barry Barry, GR is more protected from the winds and tends to get thicker ice before the open areas. There's lots of drops and wood and a creek channel that runs thru it. I was out yesterday and the ice was 4" in one area and 10ft away was just over 2". The channel was the reason. Water moving under there is keeping the ice from forming as fast as other areas there. Fishing sucked too.
