I went up last Monday. Was there at 6:30, on the ice then. Plenty of ice, plenty of fish to be had. Just wasn't lucky enough to ice any. Stayed till 11 or so. The bite was on when I was leaving. So, I would like to try again, but it is aways away from me. Good fun lake. Get there early enough and you will have to brake for deer in the road, and coyotes howling before sunup.
