Skagit County ice report?

[CP]

How’s the sheet water?  Frozen solid or can it be broken up?

[Special T]

Its mostly frozen solid. if its a foot deep or more you MAY be able to get some open water for a while. Any sheet water less than 8 inches thick is pretty much ice and mud.

A lot of ice.  Best to hit the salt.  The birds pushed out to the salt for the most part, except for a few locations where they are concentrated.

I hit Welts today, all the sheet water is frozen.  You could probably break through a few places if you really wanted too but I agree with try the salt...

depends where in Skagit you talking about?

[h2ofowlr]

It was slow for me yesterday.  Hunted hour and a half and only shot 4 going into close.  Didn't see to much in my area.  A few good sized groups in an adjacent area which I will target this evening.

Still a lot of ice around.

And then there were lots of birds.  Were in them thick today.  Lots of birds back in the area.

I drove around sat morning at first light till 11. I was not seeing much, from the bay to all around most qh spots down to for island and down to Stanwood. Saw a few groups on private land but not much flying and it was windy and rainy. Pretty good conditions. Did a lot of birds move south??

[irishevox]

saw a bunch up in Oak Harbor... but not a lot of good quality

Was out hunting this morning.  There are some birds around.  Just not a ton of them.
