Last week Ice was about 9 in the edges were a little soft in the afternoon but not too bad to cross. Planter rainbows kept you busy early but slowed as the day went on. Dont know since the last snow but it should be better ice anyway.

Awesome thank you. Any suggestions on what to use, where to fish and what depth? Thanks

The fish were anywhere from 2 foot down to 10 foot just went straighrt out from that ramp and canoe launch they put in. Both night crawlers and wax worms worked . Jigging a little then letting it sit for a minute seemed to work best. Light bites. I saw another guy using green power bait 8 inches off the bottom and got a few.

Quick question........I’ve heard rumors of warm springs at Tibble Fork, is that true? If so, where they? I would love to take my 4 young boys but want to be sure I’m not walking in the wrong area. Thanks for any insights in advance!!

Both inlets had a little open water. Every where else I drilled was 8" or more. I think the main reservoir areas would be safe. Havent been for 2 weeks so maybe someone will have a more recent report.

My buddy and I were up there yesterday. We fished the east end about 100 yards from the dock. We moved around a little when the bite slowed around 11:00. Everywhere we drilled was right around 14” of ice. We were anywhere from 4’ - 17’ of water.

We caught fish everywhere we drilled. We started in 15 FOW and were most successful there. They were not to picky on what we threw at them. We used everything from ratfinkies, ratso’s, various ice flies, and tube jigs to power bait and saw at least one bite on everything. We ended up with 22 fish but didn’t keep any. We were there for about 6 hours starting at 0730. Hope this helps.
