Pelican lake is full. It is still 99% ice capped with slightly receding edges in some areas. Ice thickness was 16 inches with almost no snow on top. Fishing was slow this past week; fish are hiding in the bulrush and are hard to find. Ice-off is expected in the next 2–3 weeks at Pelican Lake. Access to the main ramp is great, but sportsman's access is muddy. It is advised to not go past the turnaround at the sportsman's access point.
Pelican Tagged Carp Project: We do have some tagged carp swimming in Pelican Lake that could be worth a $100 cash prize. We encourage you to help with long-term carp management and bring your family and friends out to target carp using all legal methods of take. If you catch/bowfish a carp with a pink tag in it, please keep the tag and go to the website listed on the tag. Your tag could be worth some cash. Please call the DWR Vernal office at 435-781-9453 if you have questions about tagged carp.
