Slow day on the lake but a good 8" of ice. Took a while to find some fish but even then it was a waiting game for a school. Most are in the slot but managed 2 under.
CO has been giving out plenty of tickets so bring your tape if you plan on keeping fish.

Most COs would have some sort of a viewing device at this time of the year to watch anglers from a distance. Once at the Wallsburg arm of DC, a CO commented to me at the end of my fishing trip about the success of my trip. He was there with another angler and they commented that they've been watching me catch the troutskis. I took home only a couple of fish that day but I would have been in a heap of trouble if I exceeded my limit.
Yes they do. It's more efficient for them to watch people before checking you. Most people breaking the law will quit if they see the law driving around.

I fished by the south boat ramp with my little brother and sister on Christmas Eve and did alright. We caught twelve in about two hours between the three of us, all in the slot. They were all caught on either white or glow jigs tipped with meal worms. But they were some fat, healthy looking fish.

I was there that day in the morning with my brother. You must of been the one guy catching fish while everybody watched. We moved to the sand bars and fishing was much better.
