Mackey res

[Kennyshmoo]

Went by the mackey res and it looked frozen. I drove down to the boat dock and it looked like 5" to 6" of clear ice. Nobody was out there but a couple of old holes so FYI.

Thanks for the report! I was headed there on Monday but didn't trust the weather on the roads from IF Looks like it's a go now! It won't take them long to get the ice houses pulled out there in front of the ramp!

I drilled those holes on 12-4, as you could tell I started pretty close to the bank. There was only 2 inches of ice then but I am sure you are right about the 5-6 inches now. Hopefully it will be a good year for the Kokes!!!!

It should be a good year for kokes, due to its the 1st year in the three year cycle. Also they did plant some fingerlings this year, I don't know why, they usually have a self sustaining population. I will be out there all day on the 21st hoping to get into them. I will watch the Vexilar and my son will watch poles!

how thick was the ice and does it get thick enough up there to use a snowmobile?

There was one ice house when I went by this morning, and three this afternoon.

Those guys pull their ice houses (really heavy) out on the ice with 4 wheelers. It should hold a snowmachine as long as you stay away from the springs.

[KokaneeReaper77]

I am guessing there are some spring over by the mouth of the river North end of the lake hope fully it will be pretty easy to see the hot spots out there from the road
either way i can't waite to try it this year I love catching kokes threw the ice! either there or Rire

Bump! Still waiting. I know some one has been there. All this quietness really has me thinking some thing hot is going on up that way.
