Try to find some deeper holes with rocks with some grass. Seems to be the best places rn for them.

January 28th I went ice fishing here for my first time. I have open water fished it a bunch but never ice fished. I fished one of the creek channels and there were a bunch of other people there. I set out tip ups baited with medium sized shiners and only had one flag shortly after setting them up. It was a white perch which I have never caught before. I drilled all around jigging as well using a small tungsten jig tipped with a soft plastic and was able to catch 4 perch one of them being over 13" it was a slow day but surrounding people caught a few bass and bluegill. Seemed like a slow day for everything but it was still a blast!
