Ice Fishing On Ririe and Mackay!

[MMDON]

The nights are getting colder! It won't be long now for Mackay!!!

[MackayGuy]

Not just yet.....my dog's water dish hasn't even frozen at night. Still some nice weather.

[MMDON]

It will come. My dogs water dish had ice in I.F. this morning.

[MackayGuy]

I had 2 feet of snow this morning

anyone hit ririe with it getting lower ?

[MMDON]

No. I do hope to be on the hard deck at Henry's this week!

[MMDON]

Island Park Res is now ice fishing. As always, be careful getting on the ice!

[gonefishing]

It wont be long now for Ririe, that is if you can stand the breeze that will put it in the minus sub zero temperatures!

Just plain cold

[MMDON]

I can't wait. Just bought an new Quickfish 3. Now I'm thinking the colder the better! Me and my Mr. Buddy heater will be toasty warm!

[MMDON]

Mackay Guy, how about an ice report up your way???

[gonefishing]

I will be looking forward to your pictures Don. Doubt I will be doing any close up on Ririe until I can float again, in clean water.

I will be real interested in size. I am hoping that the water gained in nutients from the spring run off resulting in more micro nutients. Bigger fish, maybe 20 " this coming summer. But bigger fish this winter will be a great indicator on whats to come.

FISH ON AND HAVE FUN OUT THERE!

Keep me updated . Henrys getting to far to drive.

Looking for a used resonable priced Ice tent also if anyone has one.

Wonder if its getting any on with the temps being so low.

See ya on the ice boys.
And hopefully some ladies :)

I knew someone would ask....I've been at my house in Boise for the past few weeks. I need to get back up to the Mackay house soon and will check out the ice....and fishing. I can call my neighbor up there....she works for the FS and should know how the ice is forming.

[MMDON]

Very cool. I'm headed to Mud Lake in the a.m. but would prefer going to Mackay!!!!

[MMDON]

Brett, Henry's is still going on strong! A guy landed a 11lb fish through the ice two days ago!!!

[IdahoBrett]

Thought about hitting henrys in the morning. Decided I should get a few things done. We been catching smaller ones a few 4-5 lb.

Buddy went to ririe this morning . NOT A SPEC of ice. Being hopefull.

Mud Lake . Catching the 6 inch perch... Hummmm.
Good luck....

Hard to beleive that there is no ice on Rire when the River is freezing up. Amazing weather this year is it not. OH well, there is Mackay Res

Ririe is 100 foot deep. 32 degree water has to travel down to the bottom, cool the bottom to 32 degrees and then travel to the surface so the cold air can make ice. We're still a couple of weeks away but it comes on fast once it starts!

Seeing is believing on the size of the perch in the Mud. I never trust the Post Register for any report!

[MMDON]

Looks like the Mud has a big dose of herbicide in it. Drilled holes in several locations and there were no weeds on the bottom. Didn't see a fish either.

Mackay is Frozen and fishable by the Docks!!!
