Birch Lake today

[antler1]

On the ice by 9:00 am. The upper parking lot was jam packed and I got the last spot-sort of..
Fished from 12 to 5 feet of water in various locations and never saw a fish. The neighbors were the the same. At one point there were twenty two tents on the ice and 4 pickups. That was a first for me seeing vehicles on that lake. There was quite a bit of flooding under the snow in spots and some trucks had a wild ride across to keep from getting planted. (Sorry pic is sideways) I bailed around three and when I left there were nine additional trucks parked in the field and a bunch out on the road.
Went by NW end of Sylvan on the way home and it looked like a real zoo.
