Lake Irvin access

Where's a good public place to park ? Also , any pickups or there at all ?

I dont think pickups are doable. Many parking spots on west and north side.

I wouldn't attempt with anything that doesn't have tracks

Some guys were driving pickups when I was at Alice this weekend. I got on from the North side of Irvine, lots of parking room. I was able to follow some tracks and drive partway to my spot. Definitely have a good shovel with if you are going to attempt to drive without tracks. They were biting good Saturday, got a limit in about 7 ft of water. Bite was slow Sunday, lots of fish marked wouldn't bite, ended up with 4 keepers between 2 of us. Lockjaw seemed to be the case for everyone else I talked to Sunday as well.

What about a atv with just wheels ? Thought maybe snow would be hard enough

 

[espringers]

not right now. but, after tomorrow it should be hard enough. right now, you fall through onto semi wet ice.

saw a guy on alice saturday with wheeled 4 wheeler, last i saw him he wasnt having fun, tracks are highly recommended some spots are ok for wheels its when you find the spots that arent that you will be in for some shoveling

Is it possible to find a walk out spot within couple hundred yards of parking spot to catch a fish or 2 ? Thanks

I was able to access the north side and get a 17ft ice castle out on the old shoreline. 8 Ft of water, not much action Sunday.
