fishidaho,
Since nobody is responding, I will tell you what little I know. I have occasionally driven by Sportsmen's Park and observed the goings-on there without actually fishing. I have been on my way goose hunting if my report sounds a little lame for an ice fisherman.
About ten days ago, during a warm spell, I stopped by and the local guy that always fishes there had his hard-walled ice hut out maybe 400 yards from the dock and was making a drive out there on his three wheeler.
About a week ago, I stopped and two fishermen were out a long ways in a NE direction, close to the far bank where the peninsula runs. I watched them for about 5 minutes and they caught nothing. They also had nothing laying on the ice that my 50 power spotting scope could see.
No I don't know the thickness of the ice but assume it is ok there (but very dangerous on other portions of the reservoir).
