I fished it Friday Jan 2. Ice was around 5" but we did find an area under some snow that only had 2-2 1/2". We fished for 6 hours and only caught 2 crappie between the 3 of us, one of the slowest days I have had there. Water clarity was only a little over a foot so that didn't help. The spring is NOT on the northeast corner by the spillway, it is over around the Southwest area just north of the dam around 50' out and not far off the fence line. That place can be really deceiving so stay safe and don't go alone!
