Harrison Pass is closed so anglers will need to access the Refuge through Secret Pass. There is ice at the north end of the ditch though open water where there are springs. However, there is plenty of open water for fishing in the rest of the collection ditch and fishing has been fair to good depending upon the day.  With the cold-water conditions fish deeper areas and springheads where the water is a bit warmer. Chironomid patterns such as zebra midges, Yankee buzzers, chromies and ice cream cones should work. Other flies such as Leech patterns, balanced leeches, crystal buggers, #14-16 hare’s ears, and #16-18 PT nymphs and chironomids under an indicator are recommended.  Egg patterns can be effective this time of year here.  Spin anglers should be using small spinners in black or olive with contrasting yellow or red colors.  There is three inches of unsafe gray ice at the boat ramp.  Not worth going on especially with all the springs there will be weak spots.
