On Thursday, January 27, the lake was ice covered with ice that is still four to five inches of ice with little to no snow on top making it very slick. There were a few spots where the ice was pushing eight inches but South Fork is notorious for variable thickness of ice and should use extreme caution and drill test holes as you venture onto the ice. Please carry safety gear including ice claws and PFD’s. The few anglers daring to walk on the ice have been catching fish ranging from 15 to 20 inches but report being nervous due to ice conditions.
