The wind through the pass can cause pressure ridges and cracks in minutes, and sometimes the feeder streams can open up and flood/open the mouth well out onto the main lake.
No way in hell would I even consider fishing there in winter. I know people do, but I've heard all of the above stories happening to people and I don't like fish quite enough to be a statistic.

From what I hear, the fish aren't even that big in there? So whats the point! I mean if there were 50lb lakers regularly I'd say its a little more justified.
So I'm not derailing, I would say that the ice is too dynamic to fish and it is dangerous. And the most productive spots are probably the most dangerous (river mouths).
