Badger I went up today to check it out as well. Around 3:00 there were two group of guys fishing off the State Park, have no idea how they got out. Water at the launch and along the beach was wide open and it was 36 degrees. In my opinion, no fish is worth that kind of risk. No one fishing at Lake's End either, water looked sketchy there as well. If you're going out this weekend, be careful. Next few weeks should lock things up solid.
