Most of the lake is covered with 4 to 6 inches of ice. A few anglers are fishing the tree pile just north of the center of the dam. Check the thickness in several ...more spots along your route. Bluegill - Fair: A lot of nice sized bluegills in the deeper water just off the bottom near the tree pile in the middle of the lake. Evenings and after dark are better. Crappie - Fair: The crappies can be caught with minnows about 14 feet down near the tree pile. Just after dark seems to be the best time.
