I just took a drive up to the Virginias to see with my own eyes how the ice was doing, it's still pretty frozen up there! There were 3 guys out on the Big V fishing though I don't know how they were doing, there's no blue patches anywhere on the lake so I'd guess the ice is still pretty good. If I was going to fish up there I'd try jigging some lures or mini jigs off the bottom, or go with crawlers or power bait for bait fishing.
