The road going to the reservoir is riddled with pot holes.
Started fishing around 6:30 with two other guys. In the early morning the only thing that we caught fish on was shrimp. On a ratfinkie and also on a 1/32 jig head but we had missed hits on power bait. Fishing slowed around 10:30, after we moved we caught a few more on powerbait. Salmon peach and green garlic. 6 cuts and 2 bows in total. All the cuts were in the slot and the bows needed to grow some more before they met the BBQ. Ice was an average of 12" and no slush. We left at 2:30 and there were some pools of water gathering along the edges all around the lake. And the ice looks like it's slowly starting to weaken. I noticed a lot of air bubbles in the walls of the holes we drilled and the ice was cloudy. I would say this lake has one, maybe two weeks at most of safe ice if this weather keeps up.
