Just spent Saturday and Sunday out at Canyon Creek, and if the west part of the lake is a a bad as where we were, then I would definitely stick to established routes. We saw (and helped out) multiple trucks get unstuck. Going out on Saturday before it started to snow, after a while my brother in law just hopped out and walked a path on the ice around the drifts. Super slow going but we didn’t get stuck at all (I have a regular F150 with 4x4 and all weather tires with no lift). Headed off the lake on Sunday, we were lucky enough to use a freshly broken through trail, and my buddy with much better tires blasted ahead of me. Made it out no problem, but going slow was not an option. I would also not be venturing too far away from shore.
On top of it all, we had to grind hard to catch anything, but all burbot,walleye and pike were keepers. I personally wouldn’t go out with a truck without a few shovels and ample experience. Good luck if you do go.
