The ice in the ladders area is from thin to 7". New Years day there were about 15 groups of people there. There are several wet areas that looked thin and had slush on top. I don't know how thick the ice was there because everyone walked around them. There was about 5" to 8" of soft fresh snow on the ice. It made hard pulling for my shack.
Fishing was typical strawberry, hit & miss. I only saw one group that seemed to be catching many fish they were about 200 yards west and 150 yards south of the ladders, fishing in 14 feet of water. They had several nice rainbows and lost quite a few.
This wasn't one of my best days, only saw two fish on the finder and no bites. The group that was having luck were using small chartreuse jigs and meal worms. I was using a lot of differant jigs and colors tipped with night crawler or wax worm.
good luck
