Fished the open water yesterday afternoon. Caught a couple but not fast fishing. Others reported similarly. Some open water in backs of bays. Ice looks like it will go fast with some sustained warm weather. I'd be out there again but am traveling for the week. Normal patterns -- black leeches, etc

Thanks for the report and pictures.

I concur with your report. My buddy and I were there Friday but I got a late start. Fished the Soldier Creek side and the ice is going fast. Talked to the DWR guy for a minute as he was checking licenses and said everyone mentioned black wooly buggers or garlic powerbait. I was in a tube and caught all mine on black buggers.
