Hit East Canyon 03/02, caught 12 in about 1.5 hours. Went again 03/03 and caught 33 between 3 of us in about 3 hours; 2 of them being newbies that have never ice fished, one has never fished! Fished 30 FOW, caught 14'-16' down. White gazilla with vetrigo head and wax worm worked for us. Wind really picked up as the morning progressed. Ice was 9", with 7" of clear ice where we were at. Edges were good but softening as we left. Most were planter trout, 2 were large, 1.5-2 lbs. Great day despite the massive snow storm we didn't have!

EC still pretty good for us on Tues. Mar. 6.....fishing in 15 FOW.....We saw at least 8 to 10 other groups out on ice, access from several areas along the East side of the res....like others, fish on the smaller side, 13 to 15"....but fun to catch something.....ice about 6 to 7 " where we were....might still be worth another trip.....if going, always be extra cautious this time of the season...Guluk...

were you in the little bay down by where the two roads meet? I am guessing you weren't far down towards the south end of the lake?

Probably my last ice trip to EC, but we did have a successful outing again yesterday, 3/9.....ice conditions are still good on the South end, inlet area, where we fished....ice abt 6", just a little slush from the 'not so much snow storm' we had a week ago....the access trail going toward The Rock was still snow covered in the a.m., but getting thin and muddy by 2:30....final steps down to ice little/no snow, but the edges are/were still solid....5 or 6 other groups seen out on ice along different access points, but it looked like they all hiked down carrying gear, instead of using sleds...bucket time if you're going out now for a late outing....I carry a good length of rebar to test edges and ice as necessary....Guluk and safe fishing....Sorry I couldn't get this report out yesterday, for you that can only go on a Sat. or Sun....
