Beaver Creek

Has anyone been down to Beaver Creek? Any Ice at the launch?  I would assume it is clear of ice with all the moving water.  Trying to decide where to go tomorrow.

Did you make it down?

We put in at beaver yesterday. All clear at the ramp and main Lake. There's still some ice up in the creaks.  We caught crappie in 27' of water casting drop shot rigs to schools of fish. All artificial baits.  Color of bait didn't  really matter, but twitching your rod tip a bit then dead sticking it till you felt the super light tap did.

I didnt make it. My bank flagged my account for fraud and locked me out, so i spent all morning on the phone getting that crapped straightened out.

Thanks for the report mmirg

Water was 40° on Monday and 43° this afternoon.  Today the fish (Crappie and a couple short walleye) were hugging the bottom and wanted the bait moving really slow.

The relatively warmer water from Powersite spillover gives the upper lake a boost in water temp in the winter.
