Depends on where you go to fish. I was there also, but we were at the dam arm. I was in the opening where it dumps into the lake. Ice was over 8 inches thick, 6 inches of powder on top, no slush. Take the kids there. Fishing isn't as fast, but still fast enough to keep their interest. I even took my snowmobile onto the ice. We fished in 23 feet of water. Worms worked the best on a red ratfinky. Meal worms were ignored, wax worms were okay. Started at the North end of the lake (state park) where there were a few tents setup. We did not get out, but it appeared from the parking lot that there was no slush there either. Sounds like the island area is a good place to avoid for a few more days.
