jdm,
Got out on the "Narrows" this morning with my father. It was cold, but the wind hadn't kicked up yet. Ice was fair, in the spots where snow had melted, 2" refreeze ice then 3 1/2 inches of good ice. In spots with snow, just 3 1/2 inches of good ice. As the sun came up and warmed things slightly the lake started popping and cracking, you could hear it start at one end of the lake and run its course to the other end; Man I love that sound!!!
The fish were not hard to find, getting them to bit was another story. We left at noon and had just shy of a dozen keepers, we let 6 small fish swim. Probably would have had more, but the wind was running a muck with your spring bobber.
If you go...use the smallest ice fly or jig you have, size 16 would be good, but if you have an 18 that would be even better.
All in all, not a great day for catching, but we worked our butts off for the ones we caught!!!
