Ice off - cpierce - 02-18-2010
Which are some of the earliest lakes in Southeast Idaho to loose their ice? Maybe just a harbor or two that opens up first?
Anyone have any idea on the usual timing for Glendale? Twin? Daniels? etc
Sorry. I don't ice fish so I am doing the "Get Lost Chant" to the ice gods.

American Falls Res is one of the first to loose its ice . It will still be a while . If you need a fishing fix and are willing to drive a little farther , the north and south fork of the snake are fishing well . Curt G.

Thanks, I haven't ever fished either yet. I have fished the Henrys way up there but not closer down to home. I guess I will have to take a weekend and go up river a ways. Could you tell me some areas that are good to try? I wade when conditions permit and fly fish. Are the rivers quite low? Are there icebergs?

The North Fork above StAnthony . The fishing is good and the river bottom is very slick . If you are going to wade it I suggest felt sole waders . The South Fork near Hiese .Where the shallow water drops into the deep pools . Curt G.

Thanks for the suggestions ya all, and good idea on the stick. I am light enough that I don't usually go out very deep in strong currents.
I have really got cabin fever and NEED to get out soon!
