I fished near the bridge Thursday. Ice conditions were good. Approximately 6” of solid ice. Fishing was good. Catching was ok for the hour and a half I fished. Caught 10 perch and a small walleye.

Sure. I park in the area on the southwest corner of the bridge and walk down the hill to the ice. When I was there, the hill slope had no snow and was dry. I fish in the area from about 100 to 200 yards south of the bridge. The area closer to the bridge has been good for trout in the past but I haven't fished there yet this season. The lake bottom is fairly flat in this area so most of the structure is off of the points along the southwest cliffs and hill slope. I was catching the perch using a small swedish pimple tipped with perch eye or meat fished within inches of the bottom.
