Lake Pleasant

Lake Pleasant as of this past Saturday afternoon (12/29/12) was ice covered with a lot of wet spots around the shoreline and dotted across the lake. It was 17 degrees this morning (1/3/13) out that way.

    I did some scouting yesterday (Friday, Jan. 4).  Two guys were fishing for trout along the NE shore.  I followed some test holes out about 30 yards.  They were drilled about 100 yards N of the parking lot.  I have my ice scoop measured off in 1" increments, so my measurements are pretty accurate.  I found only 2 1/2" of ice, and about an inch of that was white ice.  I fished for a few minutes, but was not having a good time thinking about the ice breaking underneath me.  There's not much snow on the ice and the surface is good and hard (not the slush that's often there).  I imagine guys will be fishing it this weekend.  With a couple cold nights and daytime temps a few degreees below freezing, it could put on another inch or so over the weekend.
     
    Also drove to Eaton earlier in the morning on Friday.  Not a sole was around.  There were some wet spots visible here and there.  It looked like a few test holes had been drilled close to shore.  Even though I had my ice picks and a life preserver, I didn't take the chance of walking out with nobody else around.  Came home frustrated, but warm and dry.

    Fished Lake Pleasent for 4 hr this morning ice was 3 inches  about 20yds out off the south parking area, 2ins of good ice an 1in of milky ice. Drilled a hole about 5yds further out ice was 2in thick. Not a single bite!!!, talk to 6 others they too caught nothing, maybe late afternoon bite will be better. All together there was about 20 people fishing. There was  8 people  fishing the north end don't know how they did.

    I really have only liked the ice out there a handful of times. It's usually slush or just crap ice. Be careful out there!
