went up joe's valley res today.. coldfooter met me up there i was alredy on the ice and had a 20" splake as he pulled in to the parking lot.. but that was the only nice splake cought all day the rest was small snake looking splake.. i did hook in to a nice cutt tho around 11:30 it was 21" and about 4 lbs.. it was so nice there today i fished most the day in just a long sleve shirt.. fishing was hot most all day tell about 2:30 in the afternoon then it just turned off.. cought alot of small cutt's and some rainbows as well.. i was haveing the best luck on a 4" rainbow tube jig.. but just about any thing we droped down tipped with minnow chub or carp meat worked..

Nice cutt in the pic and can't wait to see the splake . I got a dumb question . How thick is the ice ?
[signature]
ok ok guy's i'll show the pic's of the splake but there not very good!!
the ice was about 8" thick and safe..with a word of warning there are some springs out in frount of the boat ramp area thay are bubbling springs in and around them springs the ice is open and thin..
get on and off the lake was a snap today.. the road from orangeville was icey and had some rocks all up and down it..
ok here are the splake pic's
now you see why i did not post them...

Yeah it was a great day of fishing.. We tapped into a lot of fish today. And even tho' most were small it was still a hoot messin' around with em.
Just a remember, if you going to run up there check the regs and note the slot and limit..
[signature]
coldfooter is right make sure that you check the proc before you go!! the wordens check the lake alot!!
the regulations on the lake are:
trout limit is 2 trout only one over 22":
all trout 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released!!
the cleveland huntington water users DO NOT ALOW ANY ATV'S OR SNOWMOBILES ON THE ICE..so save your gas for another lake..
