If you are thinking of fishing Deer Creek please read this report and make an informed decision:
"I know the DNR officer that works that area and he said he has seen quite a few people fall through the ice on the Charleston end. I wouldn't get on the Charleston side myself. Rainbow bay was soft edge out to about 4ft out then maybe 3 inches of cloudy ice. Near the island ramp is 4 inches of clear ice with 5 inches of frozen slush covered by 12 inches of powdery snow."

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
