I fished the Upper Lake 10 days ago and there was 21" of good ice with about 3" of white crusty ice on top (measured with tape measure). If going to the Upper Lake, be careful around the point west of the parking lot...I went to walk around the point, following in the tracks of where people had been walking and snow shoeing, and I went completely through the ice with one leg, there is some thin ice around that area. Scared the living daylights out of me!
Fishing was slowwith only 1 bull trout landed from 8am -5:30pm.
