I hit Otter Creek this afternoon. I fished the west side of the reservoir off the 74 road, there were patches of clear ice that were SLICK even with cleats on. It looked like majority of the res is covered with a light snow crust, Ice where I was fishing at was about 6 inches thick. I started fishing at 10 feet, nothing. Went out to 20 feet, nothing. Moved out to 25 feet and ended up catching 1 fish in 2 hours of being there. There is an open pocket of water off the 72 road. From what I could see the majority of the fishing activity has been down towards the dam not much activity from the 77 road north. I stopped at Piute Res Dam to check out the ice conditions on my way to Otter Creek, it was capped with a thin layer of ice and is fairly full.
