I was in the area sunday and decided to check on the ice conditions.
At the boat dock there was 4 inches of nice clear ice...unfortunately i didnt have any of my gear or i would have tried it out! Maybe next weekend if the ice holds up.

Thanks for the report. Is there any snow or maybe problems getting in there in a 2 wheel drive ? Thinking about a first time trip there tomorrow

For a first time trip..... Nipper Rd looks straighter and shorter, but be aware that it is also gravel and the condition varies.
Kelly-Toponce Rd curves around a little longer, but it is paved all the way until you turn left onto Nipper/Basin Rd to get to the reservoir.
Good luck and hope you catch a bunch!

You will probably need ice cleats . That lake can be very slick with no snow on it .
