Oahe Ice

1dogdown · Feb 12, 2016

Does anyone have a relatively current ice report on Oahe? Was thinking of trying down by Fort Yates and pulling my house out with a 4 wheeler. Just curious if anyone knows what the edges where like before this cold spell?

Supposed to be 60 here on Thursday will 50's next four days with some rain mixed in with this fresh snow on top and melting that will be a game ender. Pretty much no ice from Gettysburg bridge South at this point.

Anyone been out in the last day or two? I fear tomorrow is going to do some serious damage to the ice with temps in the fifty's and winds the same. We haven't had more then a handful of hours in the last few days where we have been below 32. Hitting her sat but probably scratching her off the list soon after I would guess and will have to head north east if I want to scratch the ice fishing itch.

Looks like alot of slush will be interesting what happens down here tomorrow

I see they are calling for winds over 70 out west of you. 60 degree temps with that wind would kill the ice on most lakes in vary short order. But I'm jacked up for a little ice off big mama pike fishing this spring. Next weekend might not be a bad time to get the tipups out and hit the back bays near the creek mouths. One door closes another one opens.

Thing I noticed edges are getting real bad with all the run off and lake coming up. Guess it is supposed to come up 2 feet
