Made It out for about a hour before a blizzard blew in and we decided to leave there was about 11 inches of ice but no bites assuming ur talking nanton chain lakes

Went last week and ice was about 10-11 inches. Did well on prawn, worms and velvetta. Jigging a tiny jig with some bait on worked well and also on small hooks on pickerel rigs.

I was just there today and it was a beautiful day. Ice was thick but the fin-bore auger made it a breeze.

Used only red worms, 5 suckers and 2 fair size rainbows. We fished the shallow part mainly near the shore-line and only at about 15'.

South end of the lake is busy with people but not overly crowded.

Good luck.

Was also there today, managed 4 rainbows. Velvetta, shrimp, and powerbait all got their share of bites. Overall a slow day, but nice to be out on the ice.
