I tried Twin 2 days ago. The ice was very thick and safe with no slush. Fishing was slow
but it was mid day. did get some dink gills and bass but no rainbows. Some lakes are hard to access
due to drifted roads. Winder and Lamont were no go last week.

Last time I fished LP in late Fall, I had the same experience, sure thought it was strange the even the trout were not interested there. We marked few fish, were you marking any fish while you were there?

So depressing finally got it painted and pulled my stuff out of the rafters. I have been trying to make up for lost time the last month.
Hit Alexander and didn’t take my snow shoes that was dumb a few
Dink perch around but not much luck.
Hit devils but only had a few big bass looking but not figured out what they want yet.
Last weekend hit fosters and had a few bass interested but no luck found perch and had a good time trying to ice crawdads. They were everywhere and bringing them up on the ice distracted me from catching anything else

Sounds like you are really making up for lost time, good for you getting out that much in such a short amount of time. Been there done that on the sheet rocking, don't mind hanging it so much but the mudding is a pain in the butt unless you are really good at it. Targeting crawdads, can't really say I done that through the ice, you got to have a lot of patients to do that I bet. Have any of these lakes been slushy or deep in snow on top of the ice? Thanks for the reports.

Fosters was good this weekend with about a foot of snow and over a foot of ice
Devils was also easy walking with about the same conditions
Both had deep hard snow getting to the lake will be tough walking once it starts warming up
Alexander was a work out when I when had well over a foot of ice 6 inches of slush and a couple feet of snow. I have been using snow shoes since that workout.
I am sure there will be more snow when this storm gets done.
