There is between 4 and 8 inches of ice on the bay. Fishing has been taking place off the “S” curve between Ashland and Washburn where mostly splake and browns have been caught. Fishing has been ok also off the Ashland marina for a mixed bag of walleyes, trout and salmon. Perch fishing is taking place off of second landing east of Ashland. Fishermen are using snowmobiles and 4 wheelers inside of Houghton point. There was open water from Houghton point north as of 12/23. I will be home fishing the bay this weekend and will place a new report. Good luck and be safe.
