I would say the ice is almost nil. It hasn't been cold enough to freeze anything. Curlew Lake isn't frozen, except maybe around the edges.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I haven't been there personally, but drove over 20 twice in the last week and will say campmeat is right. Not much ice if any, and I personally wouldn't risk it even if there were ice with this warm winter we've had. :twocents:

Well I have my doubts too, but it stays a lot cooler in that canyon. I think we're going to go check it out and drill some test holes.  I'll post an update tomorrow afternoon.

I don't think you'll be able to drill any holes. It's been in the upper 30's and the snow isn't even here hardly. Good luck if I'm wrong.
