Was there Saturday. They are plowing all the way to the boat ramp. Slush, slush, slush monster is out. Maybe 3" of clear with 16" of slush and grey crap ice on top. Fishing was very slow where we were. Looked like nobody else we could see was catching either. Left at 11:30. Headed to Echo for the afternoon. Ice was better at Echo. No perch but nice Rainbows.

Thanks much for the report, 16 inches of slush and bad ice doesn't sound like any fun at all. From the sounds of it, an ATV would have a hard time getting around, but did you see anyone out there on one?

No. we tried to take the snowdog out but slush ended that quickly. A few snowmobiles were out but they seamed to have some trounbe also.
