I went down to my Bacon Creek today to see if maybe, just maybe, a little open water fishing was left. It looks like the answer is no as the lake is iced up too bad just about everywhere. I saw one spin fisherman working a little water near the spillway but that is it.
So it looks like open still water fishing is at an end. I still have a few warm water discharges & some rivers to fish but I've never had much luck in them this late in the season. Maybe this is the year that will change.......
