[quote Bassnbob]I was up at Cascade yesterday to winterize my place and the lake is not even close to having ice on it. The temp was in the 40's. I didn't fish as it was just a quick up and back with breakfast at Grandma's. It may start to ice up after this weekend with the cold and storms coming in.[/quote]
Cascade usually takes a few weeks longer to ice up compared to Horsethief. I think we have a while yet on Cascade. Around a month or so, I think. But I am more optimistic about Horsethief. I think ice could be possible by T-day. Especially if we hit the predicted low of 2 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday with highs of 24 and 25.
Sounds like you didn't make it over to look at Horsethief. Someone with a first hand report would be interesting. I'd make a run myself, but we still have some open elk tags and some time to fill them, so I need to focus on that first.
