Son and I went to mud creek this morning. Ice is solid 4 inches out to the boat ramp, it is capped out another 300 yards but it is only 1-2 inches thick, not enough for me to venture out on. We only caught 3 fish in 3 1/2 hrs, it got gusty about 10 and it was tough fishing. There were 9 other folks up there and nobody was catching much at all. We went over to the soldier creek side to check it out and the only ice is the bay right by hgwy 40 but there isn't much there, maybe out 150 yards or so, looked too scary to even try. Chicken creek west had some ice and there was one group fishing there, not much room for to many more. It was maybe 200 yards of ice. No ice anywhere else, too much wind for much to form today. Slim pickings if you go to strawberry tomorrow, maybe next week.
