Good to go that early cold snap we had froze every thing up even after those few warm days. Only report I have on fishing is Becker- hotter then a cheap pistol for Brookies right now.

Awesome thx for the input. Shouldn't be much for snow maybe icy but that's where I was planning on going the old land crusher and chains should make her in there no problem

Ya if you are going up Becker right now, chain up and taker slow as there is lots of traffic at times.

[Liveforthehunt]

Always traffic up there summer and winter it's insane . Just read another thread box hitch was saying a guy was stuck icy as hell .. should make for an interesting trip take her slow indeed

Anyone know if gardom is frozen or in the same shape as swan aka sketchy and not worth the risk even with a life jacket. Gardom is another lake I'd be thinking early season

[wrenchhead]

Would think its good, it's always a little colder out there. Probably worth the drive in my opinion.

This is true and don't have to worry about icy roads it will be a toss up for the weekend

Echo is good not near as much ice as there usually is around this time of year only 5-7 inches. I have seen Damn near 3 feet this time of year out there. Fishing was excellent fished 2 different locations pulling up around 40 fish in the morning between the 2 of us 1 good kokanee lots of nice bows. Been put there 5 times this year lots of kokanee and some good sized bows upwards of 4 lbs
