Just thought I would give a quick Big Creek report.
Many small eyes being caught on most techniques. Few are over the legal limit. I hear of some cats being caught up in the arms. Gills are doing well in the lake with some keepers being taken. Crappie are coming back and will hopefully continue to do so. Water is clear with good weed growth.
Unfortunatly I have to be out of town this coming weekend 
or I would be on the ice. The ice around the east and south side of Taylor island was fine last sat. and sun.(6-8 in.) Watch out for the spring that’s been there all winter. It is in the most east end of the man made part of the boat ramp bay. The north end looks OK as well ,but did not go out on the ice. The main body of the lake is wide open!!! This seems to be normal for this lake ,just a larger area of open water this year.
I really don’t see a problem for an experienced ice fisherman. But “BE CAREFULL”
Just got a report that there is still ice at the south ramp. Wet ice…but ice!!! I’m going to check it Sat. afternoon and try and fish it. 
With all that wind yesterday and the open water in the main body of the lake…I’m hoping the open water hasn’t expanded into the area around Taylor Island boat ramp!!
Anyone up there today?? Give a post on ice conditions at the ramps ???? Thank you!!!
Call up to Ship’s Wheel Resort 800-315-2835 and talk to Doug. They are on rainy ,up steam from LOTW 2-3 miles. He will tell you how the bite is. Main thing—have fun!!!
I think you lost me when you asked for pro fisher types!! 
Then you talked about Char and silver salmon and really lost me. Here in Iowa we don’t have these!! 
After perousing my thoughts , I decided I didn’t know what to say…soooo I said nothing!!
Of course you know I’m just kidding!!!
