Any reports on the ice in any of the bays/fingers? Specifically would like to know what the south boat ramp bay looks like around Taylor's Island.

Fished it today from sunrise to 2pm. Solid 5 inches everywhere on north end. didn't catch any big ones, but did get a mixed bag of perch, walleye, gills and crappie. Sorry didn't take pics (i know it didn't happen then). It was a great first day of the season. wouldn't say fishn was hot, but it was consistant. Others around me seemed to be doing much better than I, like that's a news flash. that was my first time there and would recommend it to anyone.

First time out this year! I was on the ice from 930 til dark. Great day of fishing a lot of crappie and blue gill. All nice size fish. Caught and released

holdem · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 30, 2012, 07:30 PM »

Any new updates on Brushy? Is there safe ice all over now or just up north. Wanting to come up early tomorrow morning but a little concerned about walking out in the dark not knowing the ice conditions. Any help would be appreciated.

We fished the North side but that's where we always fish..... as far as i could see there were people fishing all the way down the lake. We had 6" of the best ice i have seen seen in a year. If the weather holds i will be driving on it next Saturday! By the way... we started to catch and release after a couple hours of fishing as we didn't want to clean over a 5 gallon pale of selectively kept fish!

Yeah just start out on the north end I've been out every day since christmas. The fishing has been so good on the north end i havent even got the desire to venture further although im sure I could. Seen plenty of quads and some wheelhouses out.

There is a large area of open water on the south end of the lake running from the beach area east accross the lake. Geese and ducks are keeping it open. Keep that in mind when driving around the lake later this year.

Was out yesterday with a buddy and the fishing has been slower on the north end so we made the decision to head south and try. The cove behind the equestrian campgrounds off the main entrance is about as far as we went, there was a crack about 4" or so wide and from what i can tell we were most likely the first to put holes that far down. We fished both sides of the crack and the icewas the same on both sides. 7". We found 6" in one area on the west side across from the campgrounds. Found slightly better fishing we each managed a limit of crappies 9"@10" all selectively kept and countless dinks got thrown back. We did manage to find some perch that were to small to keep and they were only around for about 45 minutes before they disappeared.

jkskeet · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 04, 2013, 04:27 AM »

So from the sounds of it then the ice should be ok down by the island area? Just trying to clarify because we're thinking of heading that way this saturday

jsdad1 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 04, 2013, 05:30 AM »

its fine down that way to there have been people getting on at the south ramp. There was open water down by the beach last i knew and the last time i was out there were a bunch of geese coming from that direction.

metalworkz · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 02:21 PM »

About 10" out there today. But a kid fell through around a group of trees , up to this chest too. Be careful around the bid clusters of trees. Spot was off the north ramp south about 1/2 and in trees to east.

squ1rr31_ · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 03:40 PM »

Wood absorbs a lot of heat, the best areas for structure will probably have less ice. Everyone please be safe, bring your picks with you!

thunderbutt · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 05:26 PM »

Everyone needs to be safe and smart. Was at north boat ramp this morning 11 inches of ice people driving cars vans and trucks on the ice we got off when a 4wheeler pulled a slide-in pickup camper mounted on a trailer 75 feet from us and water came up the holes guess u can't fix stupid

jsdad1 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 17, 2013, 08:47 PM »

So hows the ice look lately? I've got zero time to get out and check myself and sundays are gonna be my only day off for quite awhile. Have any of you been in the cove behind the equestrian campground on the westside?

I have some buddies who fished there yesterday. I'll see what I can find out.

HANDLINE2 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 18, 2013, 04:26 PM »

We fished out of the north ramp Thurs. with the ATV and the ice was fine 10" plus almost half way down the lake. We heard there is open water close to the dam from geese I guess. Today there will probably water all over on top and will make it very slick. Oh, fishing sucked for us.

crouch2 · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 18, 2013, 10:29 PM »
