Icedale Lake

[mikewc]

Hello all,

Three questions:

a) Am I allowed to fish here?
b) where could I park to try it out, I see what looks like a parking lot on the left hand side traveling south on icedale road
c) am I able to wade the lake/how to enter legally if allowed to fish

Thanks,
Mike

Before the damn broke it was a awesome crappie yellow perch largemouth Bass lake. I haven't fished it since then. I have hunted there couple times over the past few years. I always parked on the right side before the bridge heading north. No one ever bothered me. The grass nxt to the creek might be getting high now so walking the very wide trail through the woods until you get to the lake might be your best. Definitely go prepared to walk through bushes and weeds. Let us know how you make out

Sounds like a job for some high waders to keep the bugs off me while walking through. I appreciate the input! I'll bring a pole as well to test the water depth.

Hey Jeff - I have not gotten the chance to go there. My wife was away for a bit and I had my daughter solo, I could only head down at lunch and last thing I wanted to do was wade in a new area when I was the only parent around.

If I do try I will let you know, sorry for the late reply.

I have never been there this time of year but in the fall and winter I didn't notice any thick brush. Just tall grass might not be hard to walk through but I would definitely carry my waders in. No sense getting a unnecessary hole in them

I had read this topic a week ago or so. Drove out to check it out. There is a spot to park right before bridge, can hold a few cars. Small trail leading towards lake but seemed to veer off away from water as u walk it. I turned around, never got to water. The grass snd brush are very high, recommend taking a weed waker.

It’s silted in pretty bad. There’s plenty of carp.
