On Tuesday it was iced over and by the weekend it was wide open. Crazy. Fishing was pretty good overall although we were surprised to find that while the lake behind the island does have water, it’s pretty shallow so the fish haven’t moved back there in numbers just yet. Best spots have been in the main body of the lake actually, especially the Rock Slide and the corner of the dam. The fishing at the inlets is going to go crazy soon, but we’ll need a few more feet for the fish to feel a little more comfortable to stack up.
