After reading the recent report, as experienced ice fishermen, we were confident that every one of us will get at least one 5 pounder on this lake. We came on the lake before 7 AM and found some old holes. We tried to fish in the holes with no luck. After it, we started to make new holes and still no luck. We used night crawlers, power bait, jigging raps, Swedish pimple with no luck. Four 10-12 inch trout was caught between four of us. Four fish for six hours is way below average. Other people were also fishing on the lake and they got nothing. We left discouraged and frustrated.

Try the far north side from the dock in about 6 feet of water. We got a 6lb and a 10lb fish out there, as well as a limit of smaller 10-14in trout. Don;t know what to say...we were using weightless night crawlers. Sorry to hear, but the ice should be gone soon and its game on from there! Good luck :)

huh. have not seen many people ice fishing in that area. I fish there a lot in the spring so there should be plenty of fish. We just have seen the majority of the brood stock cruising about 4 feet under the ice on the north side. Back by the creek is a good spot as well.
