The Captain and Don Jamison from Park Grove went fishing Nelson Reservoir and found there was very good ice 18-20 inches, with the exception of some gas pockets–so be careful. 

The perch bite was good, and the walleye bite was inconsistent. 

They fished in 37-41 feet of water, jigging in Don’s Black Hole. Buckshot rattling jigs worked, along with a small jig n rap tipped with a piece of minnow.

They also had a dead rod with a live minnow that seemed to attract fish and keep them in the area. 

Good luck out there!
