The lake is mostly frozen at this time but anglers should use caution until it is completely frozen. The lake is now 49 percent full. Fishing has been slow with few big fish showing up in the catch. Try using a threaded nightcrawler under a bobber or Powerbait fished off the bottom. Legal-sized trout have been stocked to complement trout stocked last year.

Boat ramps at Howard are closed for the season.
