[quote flygoddess][quote Fooshnix][quote Groundtrac] When we drove by Staleys, there were guys fishing not even 25 yards out from the open water. A guy better hope those large cojones he has can float! I thought that was just crazy.[/quote]
My friends and I were the crazy ones fishing Staley yesterday and today. Believe it or not we were fishing on 5 1/2 inches of ice. Last year we were fishing there at Staley on over 18 inches of ice and there was still open water at the beginning of Staley. Fishing was good both days even though we got soaked today as well. Biggest fish were in the 3 to 4 pound range. Landed 39 yesterday and 30 today. Good mix of hybrids and brookies.[/quote]
WOW! I didn't think it was that deep at Staley's so it was solid from to to bottom?[/quote]
The area we fish near Staley is between 4 and 6 feet deep and at cold times it will get 18 inches of ice on top. Still fishable water underneath.
