The lake has about 4-6 inches of ice underneath a little snow. A few anglers have been getting out to enjoy some ice fishing. Best areas are by the dam or spillway. You can use a nightcrawler or you can be a little more active (which keeps you a little warmer) and jig a gold Kastmaster or a small spoon. The Caples Lake Resort is open all year if you wanted to make a weekend out of it. They have lodging with a lounging area that serves dinner at 5pm. For more information go to capleslakeresort.com.
