Title: North Central Washington Lakes Ice or No Ice?
Post by: jordano on February 08, 2011, 05:15:57 PM: Hey I am heading home to East Wenatchee for the weekend and I was wondering which lakes have safe fishing ice on them and which don't or are completely free from the ice? Any input and help would be great!

All fishable as far as I'm concerned. I was thinking they might start to go, but NCW temps this week havn't been as warm as earlier predicted. Thin ice doesn't bother me, as I'm usually always skating on it. ;)

Post by: MtnMuley on March 11, 2011, 08:09:43 AM: Patterson is fine. I'm not sure about LK Wenatchee, but I figure it should be ok as well.
