As of 2/13/25, park officials measured 10″ of ice off the boat ramp. In the coves of Hendricks Arm and Penrod Arm, anglers are reporting ice 10″-12″. Trout are being caught in the 16″-22″ range, and trout are measuring 6″-10″. The reservoir will be extremely busy this weekend due to the ice fishing derby.

For a trout bite, try fishing approximately 4 feet below the ice in up to 15 feet of water. Worms and PowerBait are both producing catches. Some anglers prefer to add a small piece of worm to a trout jig. Perch are hitting small jigs and worms jigged just off the bottom in 20+ feet of water.
