Yes we have ice cover for a few months usually. Unfortunately we get snow cover with it but we try to clear it off and get clear ice.
I did not keep up a journal for this project. I can tell you we had about 10 years of establishing our fish population before we had trouble. We had perch, bluegill, crappie, LMB and walleye that we stocked periodically. I don't believe the walleye were reproducing. All species and all year classes were lost. We have caught small perch since but no other species.
