Drove up to Newport to see how much snow and ice they had on Marshall Lake. They still have about 2 foot of snow on the ground and the Lake has a thick layer of ice. I hope that the ice will be gone for opening day. Talked to camp host, Peggy, and she said that this is the worst Winter they have had in Years. Great lake to fish tor cutthroats, just not sure when. With gas prices like they are, if you are planning on fishing early in season, I would call ahead for an ice report.
