« on: November 13, 2014, 06:57:36 AM »
Was thinking about heading over to the Moses Lake, Potholes Reservoir area this weekend and wondered if anyone had an ice report?

hahah.  I was just thinking about this yesterday.  Ice fishin during Thanksgiving would be a first.  I don't think it's happening now, but prolly pretty soon depending on daytime highs.

Daytime highs are barely over the freezing mark but you never know. I think we're going regardless, may have to switch to upland, just thought I would see if anyone had a report, specifically around Lind Coulee.

Nov 10th evening was the first frost of the year, and this was our first cold.   small ponds, small water is froze.  Any moving water, including waves is/was still open as of last night

Yup. Ponds are frozen solid. Moses and Potholes are open. Kinda early to have to look for open water. It is really cold here, but appears Moses Lake will avoid the snow. I do like the idea of ice fishing on Thanksgiving!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

everythings frozen, dont come, unless you come barring gifts.  :tup:It's cold, and windy still so even colder. Supposed to snow some tonight into tomorrow around the Columbia Basin Area. But than supposed to be sunny and clear on Sat/Sun but COLD. Anything shallow is gonna be frozen, which will mean too many people in the big waters!!!
Is it waterfowl season yet..............

Thanks everyone for the reports and the gentle or not so gentle nudge to stay away.

A pond we hunted last week was barley full enough to hunt and bagged some young drakes that looked like hens while many other ponds were almost dry when they should be almost full.  Now the freeze is on before good water levels.

If the water ain't moving, it's freezing over.

Would be nice but for many hunters when the freeze hits we can't retreat to private fields but only to find the end of the road for the season and is over before the migration arrived.
