Planning a trip to Deer Creek in the morning. I read some reports from Saturday and the ice seemed good. Anyone out today to confirm it is still good. Planning on fishing near the island.
Thanks

I am not sure of the thickness, but will be out there also with my wife. Hope we have a great day. Good luck! [cool]

How was your trip? I am going tomorrow and I can't decide if I want to go to Deer Creek or somewhere else. Also an ice thickness update would be appreciated, thanks.

The morning we went was very slow. There were 4 other groups out that morning and I only saw 3 fish come out in the 3 hours we were there. I wanted to go out farther, but my friend wasn't up for it. If I had a few hours, I'd either go to Strawberry or Yuba and chase monsters. Good luck.

We fished from 18-35 FOW. We tried waxies, meal and earth worms on various jigs. My friend even tried power bait. No bites.

I had to go down to UL to was the smell of skunk off me.

Thanks! Reports from DC haven't been too encouraging recently, might have to try somewhere else.

Fished SW of the island in 25 feet this last Monday and only managed 3 in about 3 hours. Everyone else I talked to in the area seemed to be struggling too. Caught all 3 on Maniac pink gizzy bugs.

I initially chose DC because I didn't want to drive an extra 45 minutes to Strawberry...I should have driven to Strawberry.
