Anglers are reminded that ice conditions can be extremely variable.  Ice thickness can range from thick enough to support a vehicle to open water.  Extreme caution should be used when accessing the ice.

Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir: Anglers are catching some kokanee while using Hali jigs tipped with maggots in 30-40 feet of water. A few perch are being picked up while using the same equipment near the bottom. There is around 4 inches of ice in some locations and open water can still be seen around some of the islands and the inlet.  Chris Hurley, FWP, Helena
