carson, dollar or swan lakes access?

[jigs]

has anyone been out to these lakes recently and what is access like. Is it walk out or atv or are vehicles on the ice? Heading out tomorrow and can't decide where. Thank you

Ice is really variable this year. Swan and Dollar are usually aerated so I wouldn't be driving on them. You would literally fish less than 100 yards from the boat launch on Dollar. Carson is kind of a crowded mess, usually with small fish. I'd go up to Emerald and walk on. It's a small lake too. About a 1/2 hour past Carson.

Was out at Carson last Saturday. Ice is sketchy. Fair amount of snow then an inch of ice with a few inches of water. About 7 inches of ice under that. Fishing was slow. Not a lot of people out there. Less than a dozen.
