lake Joe, ice conditions

Has anyone been out on joe i know there is lots of snow but how is thick is the ice

The ice isn't great. I didn't measure however we were traveling by snowmobile. If I were to guess 3" black with 10" white crap then 16" of slush and a ton of snow on top of that. Brutal conditions. Didn't even fish on Sunday. Hit the trails instead

thanks for the update

Fished Saturday and Sunday on Joe. Walked out both days. We measured 3 inches of solid black ice and another 3-4 inches of white ice.

Tons of snow and slush. On Sunday we walked through snow drifts up to our waist in snow and slush. Watched lots of snowmobile tracks freeze and get stuck.

With the amount of ice and snow, I am going to wait a bit to snowmobile or ATV on the ice.

How was the fishing much action

Any updates on ice conditions o lake Joe?

I won't know until next weekend

Was out last sunday from foots bay. Took my atv out to caniff then headed over to main lake humps. Got stuck once in slush off the tip of Arma island. Headed south and took the snowmobile stick line between badgerow and Elsinore. Went past Eleanor island to tip of home island. Got 5 lost a ton. Morning was hot then slowed down till 5 then picked up again

Foots bay

Anyone have an update? Wonder if the ice held up.

Ice is great, I’m wondering about slush now.

If anyone is fishing Joe this weekend send a pm and maybe we'll meet up. I'll be up until Sunday afternoon

Anyone out today? How's the access? Thanks.

The lake is in great shape. Perfect for travel by any means. Fishing was slow however the catches that were reported were early morning. 15 inches of ice mostly white.

Ice is fantastic for walking.

Landed 12 and lost a bunch. Two I lost were 4-4.5lbs and inside the hole. I did manage a 5.25lb on top side.
