I don't have any recent updates, but maybe some general info will help. We fished the main campground area/boat ramp where most of the ice shacks were. I had a flasher which really helped finding where the fish were, but on most occasions the fish were coming right off the bottom. We used small white ice jigs with a pink head, and the most important thing was tipping it with about a half a meal worm. Unless you find a more active group of fish, the bite was extremely light and having the pole in your hand vs in a rod holder was a must. We fished in about 30 fow, and only one day did we catch fish anywhere but on the bottom. I would jig slightly, or let my jig touch bottom and pull it off slowly to get many of my bites. I think the best thing to do if you don't have a flasher is to slowly let your jig down in five foot intervals, jig a bit, and see if you get bites as work your way down the column. Once to the bottom I would spend some time there between jigging and letting it stay still in your hand. Lots of bites occurred immediately after jigging took place when the jig was still. The ice was really thick, and it was pretty cold up there the days after I left, so a power auger is highly suggested. If you need any other info that I may have missed, PM me or post it on here. Good luck!
