straw hat Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hartley and Stockton State Park launchs are iced in. The launches themselves are clear of snow and ice. The main lake is open in those areas but all of the coves I could see appeared to be heavily iced over. I am sick and tired of this snow and cold.

Dutch Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I am going to try to find an open ramp and cove tomorrow if I have to drive all the way around the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straw hat Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Well Dutch, I hope you went because you would of found plenty of places to launch. State Park Marina launch had passage to the lake although there was a lot of floating ice around the launch area. I also saw a few patchs of floating ice out in the main lake and all the coves I saw were ice covered. Roark Bluff launch was open with no ice in sight from the bridge. Now if we could just get a little biy of sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 It was really foggy at my house this morning. I looked at the radar and saw snow heading down with rain coming in from the SW. Then I checked the weather and they predicted rain before noon. So I chickened out. I have been saying bad things about the weather bureau all day long and kicking myself in the behind. I really should have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phishful Thinking Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 At least you guys don't have 16" of ice on every lake within 100 mile radius! Can't wait to see some open water again up here in Nebraksa. I've been trying to make the best of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you expect sympathy for the 16" of ice from me and there you are holding a big bass.. FAT CHANCE.. At least with that much ice you can go ice fishing, with an inch or two you have to wait for the thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
