Update: New Pics Yep, she melted. Ice Jam Apocalypse

This only took about three hours to happen. I was down earlier in the day and guys were fishing through the ice at the mouth of marina.

    Dave, The fishing could be good. But trying to get a good drift would be a bit difficult.

    There most likely are other smaller jams up creek so be careful when you are fishing this time of year.  Ice is dangerous. 
     
    Also, when these jams clear there are usually some big chunks of ice left along the banks.  These may look pretty stable to walk on, but once again be careful.  They can shift, break or may hide hollow spots you can fall into and become trapped.  I fell through a pile of ice once and darn near broke my leg.  Fortunately I could climb out, just bruised.
     
    Enjoy your fishing, but use some common sense.  Be aware of your surroundings and be ready to safely get off the water if you have to.  I would hate to read about someone getting hurt or killed.

    If you are crazy enough to play on the ice, tie yourself off with a rope and wear a life vest.

    There WERE fish in the shoots too ..... Now there's probably alot of fish patties


    I doubt very many of the fish in the shoots just stayed there to be ground into fish patties.  They most likely swam back downstream into the lake.

    Any pictures from today?

    I wonder how much of it cleared away? I see on the web cam at the campground the ice jam has cleared already.

    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    when i looked at the cams this morning... there's no way you were fishing at the campground because of how high the water was

    go back to spain

    cbeagler you dont by chance drive a black truck do you?

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope
