I think it's still open for the main body.

any reports here heading today maybe if the wind ain't to bad

Saturday you couldn't get on it. Edges were opened up West of the Bridge. With the cold might be better. Don't know what that wind did to it though.

For a comparison, George was mostly open on Saturday. Yes it's been cold, but that wind can't be helping to much.

Good on the west end. Open under the bridge. Don't think I would go to the island yet.

Was on big woods for about 2 hrs sunday morning. Managed about 20 crappies!! There was about 5 inches of good ice! Feels good to actually be on the local ice

I just drove by Brinker's and there were 4 guys out W. of the bridge and open water by the boat landing. Geo Wyth had about a dozen guys on it scattered from one end to the other. RH

Was at GW & Brinker Sunday afternoon scouting around. There seemed to be about the same # of people on both. 6-8 shacks or so. Talked with a couple guys coming off W side of brinker & they said there were about 3.5" to 4" of ice. Was still open water under the bridge the the eastern part of the lake. They said got a handful of small bluegills but that was about it. I don't know how they were doing on GW.

Woody61 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 08:05 PM »

I was out there(BW) in front of the shelter on the south end for about 2hrs, drilled about 15 holes from 12-20+ feet and only marked 2 fish. I didn't get out there until 11:00am though, a couple of guys did good early but said it had slowed after 10:00

I cant seam to find any fish on big woods, what end are most people fishing? Are there any size to em?

jurrensb · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 10:59 PM »

I think the fish shut off from the snow on the ice. Hoping these winds blow it all off. Forgot how much of a chore it was to walk out with snow on the ice.

Whats everyone catching out on George?? As far as BW goes i was fishing of the point.

MelroseHawkins · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 24, 2012, 04:43 PM »

Speaking of Big Woods. I have to ask, are there walleye in there? I was scouting around Sunday & to my surprise I saw signs posted about a 15" size limit on walleyes. Did the local walleye club stock some in there? I didn't see any postings about tags & reporting them.

DNR has new surveys of all the Waterloo lakes from this summer along with what was released. I will link it when I get home!

russjess · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 09:26 AM »

Jurrensb could you post a link to that survey info?
