Default Crawling Valley Quick question

Any issues driving on crawling valley from the boat launch and heading up the
Lake in a 4x4?

No issues, lots of trucks driving on. Saw a guy towing a huge fifthwheel heading north from the campground. Snow was not deep last weekend, lots of bare ice spots, ice was about 16-18” thick. Still proceed with caution though. I’m always nervous about driving on the ice with my 3/4 ton truck so I bought a RZR.

I was out last Friday Feb 07 and the ice measured 20" in the several spots I drilled. Lots of tire tracks.....No issues....

Lots of ice bearing from the sun. If I had the G-kids, I would bring their skates along...

Some healthy fish caught but still no burbot ....I wish I new the recipe for them?

Good luck,

Default Blowing snow and some drifts on Thursday.

Stopped there just for a look yesterday when I was going by, snow was really drifting, and I could see some drifts accumulating down the lake, no one was there fishing.

Can I ask where you were targeting the burbot? Not asking for your secret spot but just like a general depth and any structure you try and hit
Thanks!
