The lakes ice condition is currently unknown so anglers should use caution venturing out on the ice. The lake is now 72 percent full. Fishing has been slow with few big fish showing up in the catch. Try using a threaded nightcrawler under a bobber or Powerbait fished off the bottom. Legal-sized trout have been stocked to complement trout stocked last year. Boat ramps at Howard are closed for the season.
