Started fishing Soldier Creek about 8:30. Five of us averaged about 8 fish each, left at 2:30. Probably 75% bows. One cutt at 23 and 3/4" and my wife released it like a real man. White paddlebugs tipped with 1 1/2" worm or glow jigs with waxworms. It was fairly warm and the fish seemed to bite good til 11am, but were still biting pretty good to keep it fun for the rest of the time.
The whole lake seems to be frozen, but the deeper water looks iffy. I would be concerned about taking a snowmobile across the lake after this next snow hits. The new snow will not let you see where the thin areas are. I bet a couple more days would have made it solid.
