East Reservoir of the Portage Lakes

[icebucketjohn]

Just dawned on other OGF'r that public access to East Reservoir will be almost nill because of the construction on Portage Lakes Drive and the subsequent fencing.  I know East has traditionally been the very last lake to FREEZE and never got alot of ice fishing pressure in comparison to Nimisila or Old State Park, but it has some decent Red Ears & Perch.

 Anybody know of any other public access areas around East?

Because of the inaccessibility of East Reservoir and the "Gin Clear Conditions" of Nimisila, it looks like my hardwater efforts will be concentrated on North, Long & Turkeyfoot this season.

(1st ice will always be Old State Park & C1 at Nimmy, but after that it'll be drill & search, drill & search, drill & search.

Hopefully we get sufficient ice to try Skeeter & Erie too.
