Anyone making holes in the ice yet? Hoping to hit Curlew in the next few weeks. Anyone have an ice report for Curlew?

[Ridgeratt]

Last week it had about 3 inches of clear with 2 of gray.  Heard of one person might have gotten some thru the hole.
But it is making ice today.

I haven't ice fished in a long time!  Coincidence, today I just picked up a power auger lol.

but struck out on poles,  found some kids poles on clearance for 5 bux ea ,so picked up a fist full of those for kids and perch or crappie.


I suspect most typical ice fishin lakes are gtg

I picked up a couple of Thermo Ice combo poles from North 40 in Colville a month ago, I’m assuming you went there since it’s in your neighborhood. There was lots of them available at the time. I’ve gotten pretty finicky about poles since my rookie year. My husband got stuck with a homemade ice pole made from a regular trout pole and it was too stiff and he missed a lot of subtle bites. Now I have super light, light and a medium action “ice” poles. Nothing wrong with chopping a trout pole just make sure it’s fairly limber.

Next You will need some type of hut to keep your kids toasty.

[Southpole]

My hut didn’t make it today .

[KFhunter]

Hut?  Hell this is Stevens county, you burn pallets and sacks of garbage to keep warm

[Ridgeratt]

And throw the keystone cans back into the holes.
