I haven't been able to find out if the road is closed yet, but if we get some

According to Chris Crookshanks, NDOW fisheries biologist, this is the place to ice fish in White Pine County. Unfortunately, not a lot of anglers are taking advantage of it, so there hasn't been much in the way of information coming out of Illipah. Nightcrawlers are the bait
