We went there over the weekend and it was a little rough getting in to the parking lot due to the new snow but it was passable with a 4 wheel drive to the boat ramp. Fishing was slow, we fished from 7-18 ft and the fish were active right off the bat but it turned off quick and the fish would only bite once in a while. I Hope this helps you out.

How were the edges? I wonder how much longer til the edges break free. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

My brother in law and I fished on the 13th from about 1/130 til dark. Totally sucked. I used to love this place and ice fish there almost exclusively, but I hadn't been in years and was hoping for a blast from the past. Not the case.

I had probably 8 bites or so, but very very light, and nearly impossible to hook. They were always tricky biters, and I was probably a little rusty, but this seemed clearly lighter and finickier than I ever remember seeing there. I did hit one where my drag was too loose, and I lost hold of him in the gather-up.

We did finally each hook/land a fish to save the skunk, but they were dinks, probably last years plant. Not the 18-19 inch cookie cutters that I have about a billion pictures of. Both of them were hooked by such a thin thread that is was hard to believe we landed them.

Ice was super thick, and edges were fine, but that was before this warm spell of course.

My wife and I fished it Saturday morning and had a blasts hooked some nice ones bite died off at about 10am. Hint fish shallow and from a hut so you can see them they are biting soft. We fished like 3-5 ft of water.
