Jefferson has ice

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Friends of mine fished Jefferson on Tuesday. They said there is 8" of ice on the lake. They caught over 50 small Bows and a couple of 22" Macs. Said they got blown off the lake around 2 P.M. I'll be heading up there on Saturday for my first hard water outing. I was working Tuesday and today up near Twin Lakes and they are ice free, but the Mount Massive lakes are frozen. Anxious to try out my new LX-3 this Saturday. Good luck to all and be safe on this new ice.

Dan, let us know how that LX-3 treats you. I've been leaning towards getting one, but haven't heard from many people who've used them. Hope you guys have a great day Saturday!!

Hey dandan,Me and a bud will be at jefferson on saturday-hope to say hey!We'll be the ones without a shelter-I actually have two but prefer the outside environment.

I thought Jefferson closed already. Do you guys take snowmobiles or do you just hike in? Has anyone caught any big macks this year? I'd really like to take a trip up there, please let me know the best way to get up to the lake. Thanks!

Coloradofish,
Last weekend we drove in all the way to the boat ramp. All the gates were open and the road was in good shape. After Mondays snow storm I would imagine that you would need a ATV or snow machine to get back there. We didn't get anything big. Just alot of 12-17" macs and a few bows in the bottom edge of that range. Macs were caught on Glow tubes with sucker meat. Bows on Rat finkies with waxies. Good luck if you go. Watch the ice . The whole lake was not frozen. The wind has really been blowing the ice up in spots, so stay away from the P-ridges.
