Crystal was about 40% open water. Fishing has been Slow to Fair Power bait (pinks and reds) or eggs have had the best luck.
Twin was still completely capped but edges are shot every where we looked.
Gelatt was 70%+ open water with plenty of fishable area from shore. Boat ramp was clear of ice. East end was still capped with ice and a small amount of ice was still left on the West end. Fishing was fair to good before ice started to come off.
Meeboer was about 40% open with fishable water on the East and South sides. Boat ramp was clear of ice. The west end bay and 1/2 of the “horseshoe” was still capped. Fishing had been a little bit slower but should pick up as ice comes off
Lake is capped but ice conditions very and are thin around the shore. 1.5″-3″ of ice. Fishing has been hard to report with ice conditions changing daily.
Fishing has been good to great. Bait: eggs, worms, power bait (red, grape) Flies: prince nymphs, damsel nymphs, mosquitoes, scuds Luers: Thomas spoons(gold/red, gold with dots)
Diamond is open and accessible. Fishing has been Fair. Flies: Hot Heads and egg patterns have been the go to so far. Bait: Worms have been working best. Lures: Mepps with red and white.
Had a Fly Store team member head out to #3 this morning. 95% frozen, very soft edges and ice didn’t look to thick. Will be ready soon (maybe snow and cold this weekend).
Thanks to or partners at Two Dogs for gitting out and checking some lakes yesterday. Now is a great time to look at booking your early season trip. https://flystore.net/two-dogs-guide-service/ Lake was 90% still iced over. Road was not passable all the way to lake.

Have to park right off road. Parking lot road still drifted in. River is starting to open but not much yet.
Lake is 98% open and boat ramp was clear of ice this morning (but not free of 3′ white caps). Only ice I saw was on dam at the north end and shoreline.
Lake is 90% iced hot shoreline is opening up and ice looks sketch on most of the lake. A couple of open shore areas that are fishable on the southwest shore past the heat ramp. A couple diehard wind fighters out this morning in one past the walking gate.
Lake is about 60% maybe more open. From boat ramp to south is all open to almost the other shore. Shore line is open all the way around to the road for at least 15 feet and then opens up into the whole end on west for about 30 yards.
Lake is about 50% open. East end is iced over for around 250 yards then opens up completely. Ice starts on the west end by the point on the north side then opens up again at the west end.
Lake is still capped with 4″-6″ of ice be careful as warm weather can effect the ice quickly. Fishing has been fair. Blue and yellow jigs with meal worms.
Fishing is fair. Ice is 8″-14″ on most of the lake with some open spots due to wind east of the “houses” in the bay and on the west end. Green & red jigs with meal worms, red power bait, spawn sacks.
