Current Conditions:
Tarryall has been a great ice fishing destination this season. It hasnt been as busy as a lot of other popular ice fishing venues. Although chances of catching huge fish here, the average sized fish are still in the 15-18 inch range.We have had consistent reports of good fishing all over the lake. This is a great place to take the kiddos ice fishing! Chartreuse has been our guides hot color in jigs.
Weather:
Short Term- We will enjoy a couple more days of quiet weather and then some huge changes will come. Today and Friday will be the nicest days with temps getting into the 20's. Morning lows are still cold and well below zero. On Friday night we will get a strong blast of cold arctic air dropping in from the north. This system will also be bringing some snow with it. We could see 3-5 inches of snow up here through the weekend. Temps will be brutally cold though, and highs are not expected to be much above single digits. Use caution if you are planning on being outside at this time. Frostbite can occur rather fast in conditions like this.
Long Term- The extreme cold will last into next week and gradually warm up towards the end of the week. High temps next week will be in the single digits and teens. Morning lows are sure to be brutal and well below zero. As we get to the end of next week, we should see temps around average in the high 20's/low 30's. Looking beyond that, most weather models are showing dry conditions through about the 28th. It also looks like the storm track will shift a bit and at least put us in a better position to get some more snow. Lets hope that happens!
Our snowpack has been doing decent this year and is currently sitting right above average. Our snowpack as of today in the South Platte basin is at 102% of average for this time of the year. Lets hope these storms keep coming through the high country. Snow now means water later, and we can use all we can get!
