The lake has not completely frozen over yet, but some of the coves had ice during the recent cold spell. A number of hardy ice fisher(wo)men ventured out Saturday and there were even a few left on Sunday afternoon. Here’s a photo of the fishermen along Cherry Creek Cove taken by my wife on Saturday. It’s a bit fuzzy but it shows the level of activity there. Please be very careful out there as there is plenty of open water on the lake.
