Deer creek' Rockport

[Fishandtale]

Just curious if any one has been to either Rockport or Deer Creek the last couple days? Is it open water or is it still Ice Accessible would like to fish either one but don't know which poles to bring.

Deer Creek has big 20-30 foot wide cracks of open water all the way across the reservoir and all the ice is dark, wet and developing lumps and depressions that are visible from a distance, as of Sunday 2/28. There's open water at the Charleston end that people are fishing in. When I drove past Sunday morning the open water in the cracks had a thin crust of ice but they were fully open by the end of the day. Seems like a great place to fish and I think I'll try that this weekend. I did fish Jordanelle at Rock Cliffs that day and there was a 30X200' open area that I had to wade across a bit of the river to get to but the fishing was great. Caught four 15-16 inch bows for the smoker, in addition to numberless dinks...all on chartreuse power bait.

Thanks looks like I'm fishing with the long poles.
