Lake Owen has around 6″ of ice and fishing is good. Access to the lake is day by day with drift conditions changing. People where able to get in with ATV this past week but may be snowmobile only any day.
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.
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.
