The ice at Comins is ranging between 10 and 15 inches of good hard ice  there are some slick spots with the warm afternoons melting the surface and then refreezing overnight. Traction devices on boots are recommended.  Anglers continue to report good fishing for 14 to 18-inch rainbows on night crawlers.  A few anglers also appeared to be doing well using PowerBait.  Soft plastic jigs tipped with a worm should also be effective.  Pike anglers have had some success using artificial minnows or spoons jigged through the ice for 12-to-18-inch fish with one angler reporting a five pound pike.   Anglers, please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several Northern Pike.  These pike will have an orange Floy tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna (~ 7 inches long) coming from their stomach.  Please return these fish to the water for research purposes.  All other pike should be humanely dispatched. There is no limit on the pike.
