A friend and I fished Starvation today in Knight Hollow. There is 7 to 10 inches of ice in Knight Hollow near the shore where you can drive to the water's edge. The north side of the bay had open water last Monday and it has since frozen. I've been told the whole reservoir is now capped but I can't tell you how thick the ice is in other areas.
There were six other parties in Knight Hollow today and I'm sure the word will be out soon that the lake is capped. I suspect Rabbit Gulch has safe ice now in the upper portions of the bay. I would be very careful going out toward the main body of the lake for the time being.
We caught quite a few small (10-14") rainbows today using small white tube jigs tipped with a meal worm. We didn't get any of the larger 'bows we've caught in the last two weeks. I did catch ONE (1) perch that was 13 inches. I took a photo for the Ice Fishing Challenge and released her to spawn later this spring. The smaller perch have apparently become walleye poop.
We fished today at depths between 12 and 22 feet with around 16 feet being the most productive.
