Anyone fishing this weekend?

rvr is so deep the water just keeps cycling as the water cools and it takes a lot of cold to get a layer on it. I wouldn't choose saturday as your first day to ice fish, it's going to be a wet sloppy mess and probably not that enjoyable haha....unless a giant fish comes to the hole to make it all better

Yesterday @ RVR: Several shoreline open water anglers on the main res. One @ the main boat ramp said he caught & released a few in the 1PM hour. He had a hit when I was there @ 4:30PM, but didn’t hook up. A boat angler coming in then said he caught & released 1 trout. A 27” brown that he claimed was fat. An ice angler coming off the swimming area caught a pickerel & several yellow perch for dinner. Said the ice was 9”.

Thanks for the report! After passing by the rivers this morning and seeing how high they are, I think RV is gonna be the spot. If anyone wants to fish I'll be hiking the shoreline for most of the morning and probably into the afternoon. I'm stopping by The Sporting Life around 8 AM when they open to grab a new license and some extra tackle and I'll be heading to the valley from there. Don't be afraid to say hi!

Tomorrow’s conditions don’t look ideal! I’ll be out regardless! It’s winter! The ice was 12 inches thick yesterday, maybe we lost 2-3 inches which puts me on a nice 9 inches! I’ll be Jigging somewhere guaranteed! Watch the edges and drain holes Ice fishermen! Old 8 inch holes turn into manholes during these warm ups! Be safe and catch em up!!!

Well i was wrong. I couldnt find a way on any ice without a full plank.

Well Thmyorke1 and I met up at the sporting life, got our licenses and headed to RV. Cold and windy, couple other anglers there but no one seemed to be catching anything, including us! Neither of us landed anything, but it was a beautiful morning and was definitely much needed. I checked a few other spots but they were either frozen over still or running real fast, so my first fish of 2018 will have to wait. But Thmyorke1 did give me some of his hand tied smallie jigs!! Thanks again man, it was great meeting and fishing with you!
