I fished the rexburg City Ponds today and was also concerned about the ice conditions, but much to my suprise the ice was 3 1/2 inches thick. I did fabulous 34 fish myself 21 for my friend. I ve caught at least 20 fish everytime I have gone this week, I have gone 4 times his week. It is very frustrating because the water is so shallow and you miss 3/4 of the bites you get. I have been having success with a green paddlebug tipped with 2 mealworms/ 2 meallys keeps the stupid perch off. All planter rainbows except for a very suprising fat 16 1/2 ins Bow/ Very nice, especially fo there. This sounds dorky but the Rexburg ponds are my favorite place to ice fish by far. Good Luck!
