Call the Hell Creek Marina. last I heard they were just starting to make ice but that report was from several days ago and they've had below zero weather.

I think the Marina is closed until after the new year. Just what I heard. But the forecast does show lows of single digits for the next week. C'mon baby freeze!

Hey Joe good luck up there. Take good notes so we know where to catch the big ones. haha. Sounds like the ice is going to be great in a couple of weeks. I hope we hear some fishing reports by then.

Hagfan- have u been up to hell creek quite a bit? I heard the water is low this year. Does that make the fishing better or do you have to get further out of the bay towards the main lake?

do you guys ever have problems getting in and out of there on the road to hell creek? i went in there last fall after some rain and wasn't able to get out when i planned on because the road was so bad. are chains pretty much required to get back there and out in the winter?

If you have a trailer of any sort it is smart to chain up before heading down the hill.

I am planning a trip there MLK weekend as well. I thought about bringing the camper but after hearing about the cabins I think it is the only way to go. I hope to see you all up there.

I usually get there twice a winter and camp on the ice.
If the main lake is not 16" plus in a couple weeks I may just do Devils Lake for five days or so.
