Fished Justus Lake on 12/24, ice was good. Walked clear across and there were others down the center toward the beach area. Fishing was slow for me, couple small bass.

12/30/10......I was out there today with my son and nephew. It was a slow bite, but we did have some. Never landed any...one came off at the hole and the rest never got a hook set! I'm pretty certain they were trout, but I guess we will never know for sure. It is tough fishing with youngsters, they don't stay focused long. The ice was still a good solid 5"-6". Good luck if you get out there.

Fist trip out this year, took the wife and boys to Lake Justice Sat. After a very cold morning of no bites and drilling several holes the wife found a honey hole around 1 o'clock. She pulled out 8 niced sized gills, and 1 of my sons pulled out 2 good sized brookies. A cold long day on the ice, but time well spent with the family!!!!!!

Was out last saturday down near the beach the first 50 yards was very solid ice with probably 7 inches, crossed lake to other side and out near middle of lake had like 1 inch of ice 1 1/2 slush but still about 7 inchs of good ice but alittle harder to walk. We ended up with 5 nice hold over brooks real pink when cleaned missed probably another 5 and got on small perch.

Outdoor, there was any where from 5 to 8 inches, some places were hard walking with 1 to 2 inches of slushy water on top the ice, others were solid ice. Noticed about 8 groups of people, most left around noon.

You should see some of those trout fed skies in there...
Also some very large trout are to be had if you can find them.

The lake is outside of Franklin. I was there yesterday. The middle of the lake near the swim beach has a foot of water on top of the ice. The ice thickness varies all over the lake. I found spots that had 6-8 inches of good black ice then found spots that had 3 inches of cloudy ice and 3 inches of black ice. Near shore there were a lot of places that only had 3 inches of ice. It is a little scary standing on 3 inches of ice where the water is 40 feet deep. But it was even scarier stepping down and finding a foot of water and not knowing if there was good ice under it. One person went through the ice near the boat launch yesterday. They got to close to the open water where the creek comes into the lake. I did catch three nice brown trout between 14 and 16 inches.

Yeah, someone went through Saturday as well... Don't walk toward the open water guys....the ice is thinner there.  At least the it's under a foot deep in most of that area. Still a good way to ruin your day though. Please use caution. The wife & I tried off the beach for a while Saturday with nothing happening. So we moved up to the boat launch to give it a try. 4" ice / 12" water where I was...weird. Caught a lot of browns from 8-16". Never fished like that before, vex was useless, just watched down the hole. I figured the boy would have a ball, so took him & dad out there Sunday morning & it was like someone had shut off the switch. He still managed to get a couple, but it was nothing like Saturday. Ah well, we still had fun.

Thanks guys. Was an enjoyable day. Unlike any fishing I've ever done. Donny, I think I did knick one on the first hole I cut...wasn't expecting it.... figured it would be good chum though. Must have worked.
