Ice along the north side of the lake has finally thickened up enough for angler access in some areas. Nevertheless, use extreme caution.  Along the dam and in front of the fishing dock, the ice is still too thin to walk on.  Holes can be drilled through the ice along the fishing pier.  Angers can remain on the structure while fishing.  A good bait option has been a chunk of night crawler with mini-marshmallow to present a “combo meal” to the fish.  For up-to-date ice conditions contact Spring Valley State Park at 775-962-5102
