Snow/ crawling valley
 

Just wondering how thick is the ice is and how deep the snow is on top?
Was hoping to be able to drive on in my car.

Thanks :thinking-006:

If it is anything like the lakes just south of there you won't get very far and will get your excercise digging. Ice is very thick but about a foot of snow plus drifts

Thanks you are exactly right 8/14 inches of snow drifted on the ice. Ice is abot 30 inches thick, bottomed out my electric ion. Had a hard time even getting to the boat launch or the entry canal. Walked out, got skunked. Apparently I was too shallow for burbs.
Thanks

Interesting helpful info.

I was out there on Saturday. It was alright to drive on. The hardest part was getting my SUV on the ice from shore. After that once I got going I managed to get to where I was going. The traction control was basically on the entire time however.
It's doable, but definitely need some speed to make sure you don't get stuck.

Had a good day when I was out. All pike and no walleye. The fish wanted movement. Dead sticks weren't very effective.

As was yours !

I was just bumping the thread as I was interested in the same info ! I guess next time I’ll just write “ Bump” to avoid any confusion and ignorant comments.

I was wondering why there was no comment. Usually a comment leads others to an understanding of what they want or are looking for.

Not a ton to add to this, I have been out there every weekend this past month, tons of ice and the snow is hard enough that its not a problem to drive.

Not seeing many burbs but lots of pike and walleye........ and the smallest perch I've ever seen on camera.

I actually caught a 12" perch in crawling last season. Right off the docks no less.
