Well, after braving the roads first thing Friday morning, we made it on the reservoir after first light. There were 4 other groups out there besides me and my two friends. 5" of good Ice with 1 1/2" slush and 6-8" of snow on top. The bite was faster in the morning on a variety of tubes and ice jigs. The biggest fish went 23 1/4" (5lbs) caught by my friend. We caught a few 4 lbers ,21 3/4" (friend) & 21 1/4" (me). Had two more big fish to the hole, but they straightened the hooks. Both looked to be right around 20". We caught probably 15 or so fish 10-15", between the thee of us, so it was a decent day in spite of the weather. Had to go home at 1:00, but the bite had slowed way down around 11:00 anyways.
