Some unsafe ice reported at the boat ramp and parts of the collection ditch. Harrison Pass is expected to be impassable after this week’s storms, Secret Pass is recommended. Anglers fishing the collection ditch are reporting fair to good angling for trout, with fish over 20 inches being reported. Fly anglers are reporting success with streamers, leeches and nymphs. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Bass fishing is done until the seasons change. Special Regulations:  Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. No wading allowed in the collection ditch.
