Hey Trent...I have good info that Littlle Buffalo is yielding quality gills and crappies at this time for those few who are jigging it, also known as Lake Holman. Ice is 6-8 inches thick and will get more with the cold weather coming.
Where did you guys get those great pickerel? I hear they get some dandys out of Pinchot Lake, about 55 miles north of me.
