I've been wondering the same thing. I'd imagine the ice is off it it's off at Chesterfield. Now we just need some stable weather.
I have mixed feelings about the bass too. They are really healthy in there, and I'll be honest, I prefer bass fishing to trout fishing, but they do have a point about it being the only trophy trout water in the area. I just received an email from the regional biologist and he said they took 400+ bass out of there last fall and transferred them to a nearby bass water that needed them. That should help thin the herd a little a bit at Treasureton and allow the remaining fish the ability to grow larger as well as re-establish the other fishery.
The bass will keep biting in pretty cold water. I was catching them well into November last year. They should be getting active pretty soon here too.
