Lake update... About 50 percent of the ice is gone! Almost the entire west shoreline is open water... The rest should be gone by Monday. Crappie and Bullhead should be moving shallow and should provide some early season fun... Pike are in the outlet spawning, they're fun to observe if you catch a clear water day... Season is CLOSED until the 1st Saturday in May (I do walk through there regularly... And I will not hesitate to report illegal fishing activity!) as for bass... Catch and release only artificial lures only, and the smaller farm ponds are just starting to warm enough for a little action... Enjoy and be safe!

I am going to try to start a weekly local fishing update... Here's the 1st one... The ice on silver lake is thick and safe! The bluegill bite remains slow in the south end with some action coming in 7-10ft depth, with an occasional pike showing up... Better action has been for perch in 25-35 ft of water... Jigging spoons tipped with shiners have been working best... Good luck, stay safe!
