How much snow at Huntington?

[Kent]

Can't help on how much snow, but if you have snow shoes you might want to bring them along. The road is a nice paved road that is kept plowed to provide access back and forth to the miners. With the amount of snow that is likely up there, I would recommend that you park in the parking lot by the dam (provides the easiest access when there is snow) and walk down the new boat ramp in front of the dam (may be impossible to see, but head down wherever it appears the easiest and you will likely be on the new boat ramp). Be aware that the boat ramp ends at least 75 feet from the ice, but that shouldn't be a problem. Try fishing in front of the dam. Try depths from about 10 feet to about 15 feet or deeper (if you can find any water that deep). The entire lake was not frozen before this latest storm, and the area that freezes last is right in the center of the reservoir. Unless the snow has caused a slush problem you should be fine, as long as you don't head out to the middle of the reservoir and stay within about 100 - 150' of the dam. If you decide to head out very far I would check the ice often. Don't hesitate to try just under the ice. Especially early in the day, I have caught them 6 inches under the ice. Be prepared with cut bait, crawlers and meal worms. They could be hitting any of the three. If you see a party of 4 or more it may be our group.
