On Jan. 30, conservation officer Devin Christensen reported that the ice was about six inches thick and very slick on top. The fishing was slow. He checked six groups of anglers and it seemed like they averaged catching one fish per hour. Most of the fish were small, but a few anglers catch fish within the slot. Try using worms. The warmer temperatures will likely melt the very quickly. Please use extreme caution if you venture out on the ice.
