Starvation Ice

[hookngrinin]

The lake is now pretty much completely capped from what I saw on my drive by this afternoon. I noticed some very small spots with open water just north of the bridge and a section along the beach near the main boat ramp. The mouth of Rabbit Gulch and south of the bridge as well as other main lake areas are still likely too thin to fish on. Next to the bridge pilings is always dangerously thin because of wind and sun on concrete.

The lake is very full this winter. More so than last. Increased volume of water to cool off is likely the reason it is taking longer to cap this winter. It hasn't been unusually windy this winter.
