The ice at Illipah Reservoir is approximately six to eight inches on both sides of the old dam.  Expect snowy and muddy conditions on the gravel road once you leave the highway, so 4WD only to the lake and stay on the gravel road please.   Fishing has been fair for 10 to 15 inch trout.  Anglers should try fishing with power bait, night crawlers, meal worms, and flashy jigs.
