With the warm weather, and the filling reservoir, the ice around the edges of the lake is very thin and is probably too thin to allow access to the reservoir. Anglers should thoroughly assess ice conditions before attempting to travel out onto the ice to fish. As the weather continues to warm and the ice melts more, open water areas may provide some bank angling opportunities.

Remember that tiger musky and bull trout must be released unharmed.
