You could go on Templar as far as you wanted, but at some point you needed to be willing to swim. Just kidding. the ice was good. You could basically fish the whole thing. By now you certainly can, as they are starting to fish Anglers. My only gripe about Templars is the size of the fish. All I ever catch is fish that are keeper sze and no bigger. Like 8" blugills, 10" crappies. I only fish there when my options are limited by safe ice.
I wont be there Saturday, but I will be Friday. Once my buddies quit hunting I will be there on more Saturdays. Anyone check the forecast? Winter is here to stay.
