Anyone know the snow conditions? the kids want to take their sleds but I told them the hills are usually bare.
Any luck by anyone fishing?

i was out last friday(before the snow) but i know of 2 groups that went out during the storm(sat and sun). and best report i got was some drifting but not bad at all. the fishing had been good on travers with the best mid day bite i have encountered this hard water season. the fish i caught i really had to use the electronics and earn them. they were reluctant at best and sometimes taking as long as 10 minutes before i would get a bite or he decided he wanted nothing to do with me. 2 rods worked best for me one with a large chubby darter (hot perch) and i would jig it agressivly and soon after i marked a fish i would pull it out and send down the phedobe with a 14'' tag to my jumbo minnow. good luck.

Just got back. Took a drive down there after work and the road is clear. Snow on the roads in the park. Still snow on the ice. Not sure how much snow is on the ice, I just did a circle around the parking lot. Snow is blowing pretty good right now but I doubt it will drift that bad.

Thankyou. Heading down in the am thinking of trying near spillway or the resort, trying out the new eskimo 6man will see how she holds in the wind .
