Fished Lost Creek on the first of Jan and the ice was 4" thick, I'm sure it's still safe. It gets really cold at night up there. We fished in 34 ft of water right by the dam and the fishing was fast to say the least. We caught and released 118 trout between 5 of us in 4 hours. I was using a green what-a-cricket with a floresent orange 1/32 oz jig head and did better than the rest. Everybody caught fish and was using something different. We even ran out of wax and meal worms and caught them on just plain jigs. We arrived at first light and the fish were suspened between 10 - 15 ft, then as the day progressed they got deeper and deeper. After 0930 they were all caught off the bottom a couple of cranks on the reel. The lake is REALLY low and the hike back up is a killer. Good Luck.
