Flaming Gorge ice conditions?

[Kent]

We fished Anvil Draw this morning. We walked off of the point and in the morning it was OK; however, when we came in, at noon, there was a large open area near the shore that we had to walk around. We checked the Anvil Draw boat ramp, as we left, and it still looked OK; however, the wind was blowing really hard and the air temperature was 59 degrees when we left. There is water everywhere on the ice from the surface of the ice melting. If this rain reaches over there (no rain on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, up until we left) the ice will go really fast. Even without rain, the ice was quickly melting.
