If I were to go down there this early I would find deep slow holes, use good fresh bait, and drift nice and slow. The fish aren't moving, they are dormant until the water warms back up (deadwater blows out). This is the time of year where you are going to want to cast and move, cast and move. A biter ain't going to be easy to find. And by the way, no matter what anyone tells you down there, the ice on that river is never safe. Don't walk out on it, even if someone else is out there catching fish, it probably ain't going to be worth it. Good Luck to ya down there. Give us your report.
