Beaver creek has a few things goin for it other than its the first place in thirty miles or so with workable ice. There is standing timber,lots of weeds,a tiny bit of current in the ditch its named after and hordes of nice bluegills.Early ice brings a(shock and awe) assault on those pannies, it produces a ton of them year after year. After about two weeks of the constant bombing it becomes a swiss cheese ghost town, leaving only the fish of the challenged side things to defend its perimeters. Every season there are a few nice predater type fish caught in there while trying to get a meal through the minefield. In summary its a good place to hone your skills,learn from some of the oldtimers that hang around, take your wife and kids fishin out of the wind on some reliable ice or hold an old fashioned tent rivival. Hope this helps Gibbs.
