The dock is out of the water and the main boat ramp is closed for the season. As of Thursday, December 1, the lake was 80-85% ice covered with very unsafe ice. The open water was along the northeastern shoreline from the main boat ramp cove up to the dam. This weekend has daytime highs above freezing in the area and Saturday’s weather may be conducive to fishing the open water though snow and wind is forecast for Sunday. Anglers took advantage of the nice weather Thanksgiving weekend and fishing was good just south of the boat ramp cove for shore anglers using pink PowerBait and a variety of small spinners, Panther Martins and flies.
