The ice is fine but be prepared to not catch any sturgeon… seriously. I know a few guys are catching some here and there but most people are going home without catching any. They are still out there somewhere and some nice ones are being caught here and there. But for the most part it is extremely slow.

The rain washed away lots of the cloudy ice. Still a few patchy spots of it. I’m curious how it looks after this snow. There had to still have been pools of water on the ice while it was snowing.

There is still fishable ice everywhere that I was. 6-8 inches still even up to the thin ice signs by the discharge even after that nasty rain. Use discretion obviously. Haven’t been out after the snow last night.

I always tie a short fluoro leader line to line. Not too worried about the main line for panfish.
