Fished SHE. Found the gate to the piers locked when I arrived. Ice along the edge was unsafe to cross. Fished open water off the rocks. Went 3 for 4 ... one 30" 8 lb Steelhead, one Sucker, and one Catfish. Catching the Catfish convinced me it was time to quit. Water was semi-clear, brown. Air temp was 40 degree, wind at 10-15 from the South.

Also fished the PGN for about an hour. Water looked pretty good. No action. Floated spawn.
