Most are still iced up. Have had a couple reports of the lower lakes like Hanging lake being open but not much for reports yet.
Not yet accessible by vehicle. Best gas is 2 to 3 weeks on getting to Lake Owen and at least 4 or more on getting to Rob Roy with current conditions.
Most if not all of the high alpine lakes are frozen with snow cover. Many are only accessible via snowmobile or some ATVs with current conditions.
Still frozen with snow cover. Only accessible via snowmobile or some ATVs.
Talked with a couple people that snowmobiled in to Lake Owen yesterday. Fishing was great, 18″-20″ of ice. If your up to the adventure to get there the alpine lakes can be amazing to ice fish.
Hanging Lake had between 5″-10″ of good ice but did vary from one side of lake to other. Miller was not accessible today do to snow. As of Sunday had 8″-12″ of ice and fishing was good. As always conditions can change quick so use best judgment and be safe.
