Fished hillsdale this morning. I was surprised to see a lot of open water on the middle of the lake with a thick layer of fog over it this morning. The ice was 4" thick at marysville, the fish were plentiful, but no size. Had to work fast as the fish were ice blocks in 5 seconds. Caught them on a Swedish pimple with a gulp waxworm down 25' on brush. Once down it never took more than 45 seconds to get a bite, but spent a lot of time battling iced up equipment. Wish I hadn't left all my ice fishing gear in Nebraska when I moved. No ice auger, ice hut, ice cleats, ice rods, ski goggles, marcum lx5 flasher, or even my ice dipper. Just my pac boots, a spud bar, lots of warm clothes, and my 7' ultralight rod. Stayed toasty warm, been out in way worse but this is my new ks record for coldest day fished.
