I haven’t been out there yet this year, but have an 8×8 perm that i have had out there the last few years. Fishing is usually pretty good, usually get a ton of crappies and some nice walleye too. I would not go out on the lake yet though. It’s a resivior, and the channel runs through in many areas of the lake. You can still see some open water on some parts of the lake. I have heard that the ice is 6 inches in some spots, but 1 or 2 a few feet away. However, there have been an increasing number of portables and even some small perms on the northside near the center of the lake on Hwy 88. I just have to say use caution. Haven’t heard of much fish coming through the ice though yet.
I just finished a bunch of remodeling on my perm and just waiting for some more ice before i even go out there.
