Surface water temperatures have dropped into the mid to high 30’s and the lake was about 70% covered in very unsafe ice on Tuesday, November 30.  Bass fishing is done for the year. If you can find some open water along the shore the usual worms and PowerBait, as well as small spinners, rooster tails, and panther Martins should work for trout. Fly rodders should be using black or olive wooly buggers or leech patterns, hares ears, PT nymphs and chironomid patterns.  Expect the lake to freeze completely early next week with unsafe ice.  More than likely it will be unsafe until around New Years.
