Colorado's ice fishing in the higher country is going strong, however the ice conditions on some of the mid-mountain lakes are becoming questionable. The warm weather this winter has effected the ice condition on many of our Colorado lakes creating soft ice. So ice that was hard a week ago may of gotten soft, be careful and check the density of the ice with an ice chisel and/or ice auger. Softer ice will drill faster and chip easier, meaning it's less dense therefore the ice's ability to carry a heavy load has been weakened. As the day progresses and warms the ice become softer, so checking ice conditions throughout the day is good idea along with check the ice continuously as you walk off. Often shorelines, shallow water, along with structure like rocks and weedbeds will warm faster so check these areas often.

AuthorFishing is not a hobby, it's my lifestyle. If I'm not on the water, I'm thinking about being on the water. Obviously obsessed, the fishing journey has carried me across the Rocky Mountains eventually across the states, where I encountered the term "FishHead" for the first time. "FishHead" - a person who is completely consumed by the thoughts of fishing; an incurable sickness caused by fishing that consumes a person during all awake hours and usually persists throughout the sleep cycle.
