ice fishing formula


robert aldrich

Recommended Posts

depth+water clarity+ice depth+ ice clarity+ snow cover= light penetration. that will tell you the kind of lure you want to use. like: no light = glow. little light= glow or bright color lures. alot of light= natural patterned lures.

i figured out a formula for ice fishermen now you know what kind of lure to use for the lake your on. this formula is copyright by robert aldrich

Let Dw = Water Depth, Wc = Water Clarity, Id = Ice Depth, Ic = Ice Clarity, Sc = Snow Cover, and Lp = Light Penetration.

Dw is in feet, Wc is also in feet, Id in feet, Ic is a decimal, between .000 and 1, SC is in feet, and Lp will be in lumens. Your result will be N, BG, or G, N being natural, BG being bright or glow, and G being glow.

If Dw > 2(Wc) and Id < Sc....

sorry. Got away from myself there. Phew almost went back to my calc days. that'd be a hoot.

QED and stuff.

thank you

dw+wc+Id+Ic+Sc=Lp then your results will be N, BG, or,G

hey guys, robert is just trying to be helpful. hopefully we can read between the lines a little bit and appreciate what we all have in life and be a little compassionate for others and try to help them out too. i have also tried to help people on this site and also have learned a lot. hopefully we will allow robert to do the same. if you are confused by what is written between the lines, and need me to explain it, personal message me and i will gladly do so.

Actually, I'd go with:

(Dw' - Wc')+ 2((%Ic + %Sc) * Id") = Lp

Were Water clarity increases the light penetration, and ice clarity and snow cover are considered in function with Ice depth, and doubled, at least.

Either that, or just use a glow lure all the time, and stop charging it if your strikes are coming a long time after charging.

I am bumping this up back to the top in case some people missed it today. please go back a few posts and reread if you did not see it. it is apparent that most of you have and THANK YOU! I am assuming this is relatively new territory for the site, with no real game plan other than putting a smile on our face and have fun with it smile

Thanks for helping us understand.........I think we all need to look at things through other peoples eyes sometimes to get some clarity on things.......

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
