Website: Hammer Down Excursions
The ice is off Downs Lake. I went to Downs to check the conditions and was sorry I didn't take my boat. Only one boat on the water while I was there and I'm not sure how they were doing. This early opener should be great because to lilly pads are not up jet. There are parts of this lake available to fish now that have not been fished for several years. I will be on the water next weekend
