So with the weather looking pretty good this weekend, I am thinking of heading out to ice fish. Anyone heard of any good spots? Was thinking of going to Big Creek because I am most familiar with that but willing to try some new places.
 
I don't ice fish, so I can't speak of the quality, but I see huts on the DMACC pond off Oralabor in Ankeny often
 
Might be some hot 'fishin on the runoff pond in Ankeny at the corner of NE Deleware Ave and NE 36th Street. Saw a tent hut set up on it last Saturday morning.
