Went to Huff's on Jan 26 just after midday. About 16 groups/pop ups around. Some folks were on ATVs. Walking was good with most of the surface a crunchy frozen slush, good to have cleats though. Drilled a few holes in 20 to 23 fow and ice was about 11 inches in those spots. Moved further west to about 26 fow and ice was down to 6 inches. Kin of dicey for a ATVs imho. Bite started at about 3:45 pm and I caught 4 wallys, 3 nice eaters and a smaller one. Best outing for me this year. Previous attempts were at Thompson's point/Hay Bay and they yielded naught but perch. Weather is now calling for a two day thaw with 10 mm of warm rain, I urge caution especially in higher current areas like Huff's, Long Reach and Deseronto. Cheers pdubya
