Just a quick update, a buddy and I headed uplake yesterday to scope out the ice conditions on the Gorge. The furthest south we found safe ice was just below the Confluence, near the upper end of the Currant Creek cliffs. We fished on the eastside of Lost Dog where the ice was 5-inches. Ice was clear with 6+ inches of snow on top. There was some ice forming in the backs of bays near Buckboard, but I'm not sure of the thickness.
We only fished an hour and iced 6 pups (20-24 inches) and a 28-inch burbot in 60 ft of water. All of those came on a 3/8 oz Buckshot spoon, tipped with sucker meat.
Hope it helps, Ryno
