As of Thursday, December 30, Wildhorse was completely covered in ice ranging from 4 to 8 inches, though there are some problem areas. There are slush pockets as well as layered ice. Layered ice is where there is a base layer of ice, a layer of water and then another thinner layer of ice on top which is often broken through getting feet wet. In areas close to shore it is safe for ice fishing, but at this time it is NOT safe for atv’s and snowmobiles. There is snow on the ice, but due to the wind it is variable thicknesses with some areas almost clear of snow while others have some drifting. The State Park Campground is open on a first come first served basis, though nighttime temperatures are expected to be in single digits on Saturday night and then warming up to around freezing early next week. Reports of anglers doing well on trout, but no reports on perch. Biologists expect good fishing through the ice this winter for both trout and perch.
