im planning on headed up there around the fourteenth or so to try it possibly.  Heard the walleyes were biting but pike fishing was pretty slow......last I heard.

I fished during the 3 days of snow prior to Christmas. I didn't do so well, but I'm sure you could get a fishing report from the sports/marine store in Malta.

I was at Devils Creek the last four days and the ice is 14 inches thick and the fishing was good.  People are driving all over on both sides of the lake.

Most were driving trucks.  Way to cold for a 4-wheeler.
