Vallecito Ice

There's something interesting with the ice at Vallecito right now. There's a layer of snow about 2 inches or 3, followed thin, cloudy ice, under which is about an inch of water. Under that is about 5 or 6 inches of good thick ice. I have no idea how this could happen with the freezing temperatures (including a record low) in the last 2 weeks. My best guess is that the snow across the entire lake was enough weight to push the ice down a bit and allow water to flood the top. Sound? I dunno it was just a thought, what do you think?

Fishing was slow.. Vallecito has produced the slowest ice fishing we've experienced this year (well aside from Puett which is always slow) compared to the quick catch at Lemon and the lights out madness at Williams Creek. We did manage a few tasty Kokanee and Lisa pulled a chubby rainbow out. Good times, but a hair slow.
