Ice is best at the south end with approximately nine to 12 inches of good ice. Thinner at the north end. It is starting to get slick in spots. Anglers report good fishing for 15 to 18-inch rainbows on night crawlers. A few anglers also appeared to be doing well using PowerBait. Soft plastic jigs tipped with a worm should also be effective. Pike anglers have had some success using artificial minnows jigged through the ice for 12 to 18 inch fish. Anglers, please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several Northern Pike. These pike will have an orange floy tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna (~ 7 inches long) coming from their stomach. Please return these fish to the water for research purposes. All other pike should be humanely dispatched.
