3.3 Update

The prairie lakes (Orman and Angostura) are nearly all the way open now, but the bite has been nearly non-existent at both places. Pactola is not accessible except back in Jenny Gulch and even there, access to the ice might require a plank. However, a decent pike and trout bite is ongoing there. Most of the other Hills lakes still have good ice on them, particularly Deerfield where a perch bite is still going strong and a few lakers are showing up here and there as well. Stockade still has good ice on it, though the bluegill and perch bite is a bit slow as is the pike bite. Sheridan still has decent ice on it at least along the 385 bay with crappie and perch still being caught in 35' of water. Trout lakes still have reports of active bites and solid ice. With the coming warm temps, some lakes may start to lose shoreline access so proceed with caution.
