The ice is getting questionable. I would recommend staying off the lake until it has thawed. When the shore starts showing open water. This is when a nightcrawler and a pinch weight works very well. Kastmasters are also effective. The resort is looking to open in Mid May if the weather cooperates. for more information call the Caple lake resort at 209-258-8888. Note: The Caples lake campground will be opening this year in late May.
