I tried to fish Oneida Reservoir yesterday. It was a no go. Probably 3' plus with snow slush and ice so thick I couldn't drill all the way through. After that failed attempt I checked out Foster. No problem getting on the ice. Foster has a crust layer I couldn't even break through stomping on it but it was a little windy and I didn't bring my shelter with me so I ventured up the canyon to Glendale. I was finally able to punch a hole in that body of water but I'm betting between the crust slush and ice it was close to 3'. The edges were good and solid at all bodies of water. I ended up fishing in almost 50' of water and did well on the perch and rainbows. I Brought home 24 decent eater size perchy's and caught probably double that at least. They liked a gold tungsten with a little red tail tipped with a spike the best.
