I drove by Deer Creek yesterday. From the island south most of Deer Creek has ice covered with a couple inches of snow. I saw some tracks and holes in rainbow bay and a little north. The ice starts at about the middle of the island. I didn't see any tracks in the snow near the island or boat ramp.There are a lot of gray areas in the snow where water has wicked up from cracks. If I liked to fish Deer Creek I would probably risk a trip, however I would take a bar to test the ice every few feet. Take a buddy and a rope, the guy who drives gets to hold the safe end of the rope.
