Went up this morning. Holy poo poo it was cold. Fished for about 2.5 hours and ended up with 40+ perch and 6 bluegill. I must say, the bluegill were quite a nice surprise. The fish were still biting when I was packing up, and I would have stayed, but I had other things to do today. I am still seeking the crappie that elude me. There were quite a few shelters on the ice (I'm now in the market) so it was hard to tell how others were doing. I did have one guy come by to see how I was doing. He and his buddy had one crappie between them. They quickly moved over by me when they saw I was catching fish. They ended up doing quite well. I was fishing the narrows, which I have heard has slowed down lately. My rig was an ice fly (hot pink head), tipped with a wax worm, 12" below a yellow accented swedish pimple. I guess the key is to move until you find fish. Catching fish sure does help keep the mind off the cold. Good luck to all.
