Sorry for the late post. A friend and I fished Mantua saturday morning from 9-12. Lots of snow some slush on the ice and quite a few open auger holes under the fresh snow. Had a hard time finding fish but finally settled in at 10'. Caught fish the whole time we were there but it was never red hot. We caught perch, bluegill, and trout. The perch were the biggest I have caught there this winter with some over 10". All fish came on small dark colored ice flies and spikes. Still lots of good ice just be careful where you step. At times it was hard to see anything on the flasher because of the huge schools of tiny perch swimming through. All fish caught had a belly full of baby perch, less than 3/4" long.
