Current Lake Davis Conditions
Well I just got back from Lake Davis and it's looking GREAT - finally. What a difference a week makes. I was out last Saturday and except for a ribbon of water around the east side it was frozen all the way across. Not anymore....
The West Side Road is still not open...

And this is some guy who thought he'd give Honker a try...at least he wasn't pulling a boat...

Snow Creek had quite a few fish in it which is good news until the poachers show up...

And this is a picture of the Honker Boat Ramp...

The south end still has a bit of ice but it's on its way out...

And as LT pointed out the middle and north end is completely free of ice...

The Mallard Ramp is open - notice the water level - we still could use more water...

People were out but not in big numbers. The usual spots Grasshopper, Mallard, Coots and coves north. I didn't wet a line - I was just there to check things out and run the dog. I did see one guy out in a tube at Mallard and there were no boats in the water but you could easily get a pram in at Mallard if you so desired.
Again as LT mentioned the fish were in the shallow water so a pram / tube isn't really necessary. This should be a very good year!!!
