I went up to Deer Creek the other day, we fished about 25' from the island. I wouldnt recommend going out on the ice, it is quite thin in spots, at the thickest point it was only about 3-4 inches, there was a lot of cracking and popping and you could see water coming up between some of the bigger cracks. The fishing was fairly slow during the day, but picked up toward evening, we limited out on big beautiful bow's between the 2 of us, and caught 4 perch on green rat finks. The bait of choice for the bows,was worms tipped with green marshmallows right off of the bottom, every other bait that we used didnt seem to attract anything.
