ice fishing

[hollohas]

I used to live near Kipling and Hampden and there is a small lake just behind that golf course that I used to see people ice fishing on all the time. It is still in a Lakewood zip code, so I'd say pretty close to you.

Which golf course?

Henry Lake on the north side of Quincy just behind the Foothills golf course (between Hampden/Quincy and Kipling/Wads) is on the Federal Prison land...no go. The smaller lake on the south side of Quincy by the apartments is public.

The other courses are Fox Hollow and Homestead and they are a mile or two west of Kipling. They do have a couple lakes including the bigger Bear Creek Lake nearby.

There is also Harriman Lake on the south-west corner of Kipling and Quincy that freezes over. I fish it during the summer. Trout, bass, cats. Don't know about ice fishing though...

I used to live on Dartmouth, just west of Kipling, and would run on the Homestead golf course. You could take a trail up that little foothill, and on the other side was a small lake/pond that I saw a ton of ice fishing holes at. Thanks for the names of the golf courses, I forgot what they were called. I'm not sure how you'd actually drive to that lake though, as I always was above it and on foot.

EDIT: I just looked it up on Google maps and the body of water I'm talking about is apparently Bear Creek Lake.

I fished at Bear Creek Lake before... you have better luck bringing home a pelican for dinner than fish.

The best part about red feathers is when you take a hut and block out the outside light. You can see the fish as they take the bait. No sonar needed!

Same at Antero. The submarines are awsome just wish more of them would bite.

11 mile only if you are in the shallows.

That's my favorite part of ice fishing. What I HATE is watching the fish bump the bait but not bite it.

As Mtn Man said about 11 Mile, anything more than about 8 ft deep you start to get really milky water and can't see into too well.

So, anyone know how thick the ice is at either Antero or 11 Mile?

Antero Fishable we hear from some guys we know. They got a couple 18" bows and both got a few Koke's just off the south boat ramp.
said they saw a few big ones but they were't interested in their jigs.

11 mile iffy tarryall the same ice thin or non existant.

Jefferson is all ice 11 inches where we were, only bites. Teryall has a lot of open water still and antero is very sketchy still as of today

Thanks for the condition report Glock.

If they aren't biting on jigs, what are they biting on? Meal worms?
