Left Milford looking for ice in places I have fished.

Mondo pond Milford



Zoar at kettletown


Lili, steel bridge



Finally walked on water in unknown New Milford pond. Only about 2 inches and you can see the crack caused when drilling. Gonna give it another try in a couple of days.

Ice shanty reports bigelow has 3 inches and guys were fishing.

Nice, Bob, I also enjoy your Clamming reports too!

Went by the Danbury Town Park yesterday and there was only ice about half way out to the Island, not good.

I fished Bantam Mon & Tuesday both full days pre-sunrise to sunset.

Friday prob about 80% of the center of the lake was open water.

Mon some access areas against shore and out even 40’ from shore had 2.5-3”

The main ice was 5”-6” of ice over 4’-16’ of water.

Tues it was sleeting-raining-sleeting and a slush and free standing water was building up on top right before sunset. The Tues morning hard as a rock ice was mushy and had some give to it just before sunset Tues. The ice has to get a lot worse all thru last night and def thru all of today. Tomorrow it’s supposed be about 53*F at Bantam and a very mild 40*F night.

I don’t plan to fish anywhere on the ice in CT until another long freezing cold snap. It will prob be into the mid or end of the 1st week of February at a minimum before there is safe ice in CT.

Stay Safe & no fish is worth risking your life, others lives and rescue teams.
