Smith Point
Smith Point (Marker 48 on the lake) is in West Alton . There is absolutely no solid ice in sight and the water between Rattlesnake and here is wide open and moving at a pretty good clip. Doubtful there will be any solid ice in the next few days

It looks like there is ice from the LI Bridge (Trexler's Lighthouse) all the way out to 5-mile and 6-mile.
You can see the trail a barge made in the ice. |

From my side of the lake (South), it appears everything from Dollar Island north is locked in. All open water from Dollar to the Southwest shore however. Pic below is taken from my home looking at the South side of Welch... If you look close you can see the ice line just in front of Dollar, that little dot at 9:00 o'clock in the photo below...

Do you mean the other East AKA West?:D

8 inches of ice yesterday
We have been locked in with ice up here north of Moultonborough Bay for 2 weeks now. I took another walk out toward Gansey Island and drilled through 8 inches of ice. 5 inches of "slush ice" on top and 3 inches of black ice underneath. Kinda surprised to not see people ice fishing out there yet.

I am up in Patrician shores (levitt Park) area on the center harbor / meredith line and usually rip across into center harbor, cross 25 and drive behind the irving and then take those access trails to kanasatka sp? Does anyone have any information if that's safe yet? I love riding Red Hill, I told my children to put my ashes up there one day, just not anytime soon..

On a smaller scale, Merrymeeting is mirroring Winni. The coves, eastern shores, and calm areas have been frozen for a while and are all pretty solid at this point. But the deep areas and middle are still stubbornly staying open, despite the consistently cold temps of the past week.

Well that explains it!
Thanks for the info Rob M. We had snowmobiles zipping around here this weekend but nobody fishing.

The warmer temps and rain of the past week caused the ice on Merrymeeting to retreat quite a bit. More than half the lake is still open and the areas are expanding.
It's not safe to be on the ice yet! |

Majority of species in Winni don't have a specific 'season'. http://www.eregulations.com/newhamps...special-rules/ |
hopefully we will get the Pond Hockey Classic on Lake Winni this year

From April 1 through December 31, no person may take fish through the ice, from the ice, or from any object supported by the ice. Clear as mud?? |
Quote:
Ice fishing ONLY season is from 1/1 to 3/31. No fishing from boat or shore. You cannot ice fish any other time meaning 4/1 through 12/31. You can fish from boat or shore if whatever you are fishing for is open for the taking during those dates. |
Ice Fishing Season

When I wish to better understand the fishing regs I search online for the official state site.
Several alternaive sites come up. Which one is really the state of NH? http://www.eregulations.com/newhamps...special-rules/ http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/ https://www.nhfishandgame.com/ I would hope that a site published by the state would have the most correct info. but then I recall something about the IRS still penalizing taxpayers who relied on the IRS's incorrect help line advice. |
Hmmmmmmm ........
How does an "Ice In" thread become a discussion about Fishing Go figure ! . |

Looks like seeing the rattlesnake cam, the middle has frozen up...

Getting There
1 Attachment(s)
A lot has skimmed over. It appears to be a wide strip of open water much further out from Rattlesnake Island.
|
We just back from walking on Scenic Road near Ellacoya. Large floating patches of skim ice interspersed with open water out toward Welch and the Broads. If it remained calm it would ice over by Monday however moderate wind tomorrow and Monday may prevent that.
I'll take a look in the morning on the way back from Planet Fitness. |
Anyone have any info on Meredith Bay? I'm curious as to whether the Pond Hockey Classic will be on the big lake this year.
Thanks! |

Not current but it was all open water last weekend. I suspect that probably has changed.
Lots of ice has been forming all over the place which is a welcome sign just hope it can hold, looks like another quick shot of warm is coming this week. |

It looks pretty frozen over from the South/West side of Rattlesnake looking out towards Diamond island and Gilford.

Belknap Point today
1 Attachment(s)
It is mostly blue water between Belknap Point and Welch and on out to the Broads.
Between Ames Farm and Diamond it looked like all ice, there is a band of open water between Ames and Rattlesnake. |
So it appears a lot of the open water has locked in, correct me if I am wrong, isn't usually Welchs the last to lock in every year? Stubborn!
Meredith Bay is fully locked and met up with the weirs as well. I am up in Leavitt Park and across from black cat this all looks to have met together too. Very cold for a few days should really help build the ice, 2-3 inches a day hopefully before the warm air returns. |
Ice
Lake is frozen between Smith Point and Rattlesnake and Sleepers and NE looking to Wolfeboro. Looking W/NW of Rattlesnake it still looks like there is a large patch of open water in the Broads
|
From my camera it looks like Winnisquam has skimmed over this weekend. My view is looking east toward the state park just south of Pot Island.

Lots Of Open Water Still

This first pic is looking north. Welch Island in the background. You can see the ice line just north of Welch. While there is some ice bergs forming there is still a lot of open water.

Broads

This pic is looking Northeast at the broads. As you can see it's all open water from Sandy Island to Lake Shore Park...

Gunstock
From the top of Gunstock you can see lots of open water in Broads. Both sides of Rattlesnake Island peninsula, sometimes called Alligator Point, are iced in. Open water south of RI. I will be back on top of Gunstock Wednesday and will try to take a good pic of progress.
