Thank you, i definitely want to head there for a weekend in the summer but i was planning on doing a day trip there in the next week or so to do some ice fishing. Any tips for that? Thanks
Yeah....I was trying to coax you away from the ice fishing and wait until the water is open in probably 5 weeks depending on weather.
Out of all the ice fishing options, lightning lake is about the last one I'd choose right now.
It's still mostly a 'coastal range' lake....and these lakes usually have anywhere from 4-15 feet of snow on top of the ice in March. This year it's probably 2 feet or less, but still....with this crazy spring weather, most coastal lakes with any snowpack on them are getting very slushy on top....some may even have standing water soon. Pretty sure you wouldn't fall through the ice at Lightning Lake right now, but it really is a poor choice this late in the season for ice fishing.
