    The area around the bridges opened up a bit more today, and about half of the back ends of the smaller coves are open. You might be able to launch where we normally do, but won't be able to go past the pier. It should open more tomorrow, but there will be lots of ice getting blown around.

    Everything you need will be at the registration trailer. & yes it's legal to pre-fish.

    Was up last evening and from big lake finger up into porters cover was open. But from the 528 bridge to sail boat docks had ice, from 528 bridge up into Shannon run,swamp run.muddy creek to the upper 528 launch was open. But from upper 528 launch has mostly ice on it. There was some open water but you probably could get past and get way up into the open water near the end of the lake. I'll be trying today at some point.

      Dave , that ice by the upper 528 launch was breakin in BIGG sheets & the wind was blowin it up that way. It was more like slush than ice. By the time it hit the rd. bed it was gone with the warmer waters up that way.
     
      Good luck

    I called the park office today, at lunch time and they told me that most of the ice is gone.
