Maybe I'll take a drive up and look, since there is no real report. Seems it should have some ice on it. If I do will post by tomorrow night.

Saw it was open last week on my way back from the North and popped some wood when I saw it was open. Haven't fished Holter all winter and was thinking, I need to get on it.

Hey Robbi- just FYI, Holter is covered with ice as of yesterday... 5 inches of ice at departure point.

No, I didn't really want to admit it, but I went up there thinking it would be wide open like Robbi.... I had planned on fishing from shore with the sure idea that it was wide open! I drove up thinking what a great day it was going to be, and then topped the hill where the old lodge used to be.... I have to say it really was pretty with the sun coming up, and the fresh snow on the ice, but I still said some bad words.... I drove to departure just to look around check on things. There were some older fellas on lawn chairs sitting at departure and they told me about the 5 inches of ice. They also said that the fishing was really slow... I will probably fish it next week. Will post if I do.
