I'm trying to figure out if my pontoon still floats. Does anyone know if any of our northern lakes have open water in them where I can check my boat out? I'm ready to get out there and get my fly line wet.

Even better does it still hold air? Fill the bladders up and if it still holds air after a couple hours then it will float.

WHAT! Fill it with air and check it first? If you do that people will think your organized. I for one wouldn't want to risk my reputation. LOL Al

I went past Jordanelle on my way to the Berry today and seen lots of open water by Hailstone . Just watch out for the ice floating around but should be good for trout . I already been in my tube at Utah lake last week and it still leaks some but I am still be using it .

Lot more ice that way , but could be open by the river inlet . From US40 it looked all frozen up still .

Thanks all you guys! I can always count on the BFT crew to have the answers. I'd heard that Jordanelle was nearly clear, and that Rockport has open water. I'm going up to Idaho next weekend and thought maybe I'd run over to Clear Lake for few hours, just to keep my right arm's muscles from deteriorating completely from lack of use.
If anyone has ventured out on any of our trout fisheries that have liquid water instead of the frozen kind, I'd love to hear about it.
