No catches were reported. At Rakes Sports Center in Bassett Judy Helms said anglers jigging 35 to 50 feet deep with Hopkins Shorties are limiting out on bass and catching a few walleyes while they are at it. There has also been considerable fishing activity for trout on the Smith River where some limit catches have been reported. From the Lakeside Marine Supply, Debbie Phillips said the lake has come up a little, but it is still a bit low. It is also frozen in places and very few anglers are on the water.
Most ramps are now open.
At the Sportsman's Marina, Marilyn Faber said fishing is slow. There is ice in the coves and floating sheets of ice on the water call for caution. All ramps are open. At the Bait Place, Charlotte Andrews said the trout fishing hasn't really turned on yet, but a few small ones are being caught. The lake is frozen at the main dock and in the upper end of the lake.
