Hit Causey on Wensday in the late afternoon.Walked back where all the forks meet and nothin.Moved back towards the dam,and thats all it took I was on the fish.In a matter of 1 hour I had Iced 3 Splake,1 Bow and 3 kokes.Not to bad for not having a fish finder like they say you need.There was 2 other guys with a fish finder and these guys had walked the entire Dam trying to catch a fish.Not to sure if they ever did.I was outta there by 5:30,was very surprised on the fishing.If any BFTer'swant to hit it with me I am going back Friday afternoon!! PEACE!!!

How well is the ice holding up around the edges up there?
When you found the fish, were you very close to the cliffs?
In the fall, I found a lot of the fish were hanging close to shore like 50' or so from the edge.I did best back then on the North West side, just out from the dam. When I went back there on the ice, that spot still produced the most fish for me. Thanks for the report and have fun up there on Friday, DKS.

The lake has dropped about 5 feet but the ice is still around 18".I was on the South end of the Dam and about 200' out and 20' of the edge.The fish were on the bottom and also just below the ice. PEACE!!!

Slidemypipe,
I was there on Mon. and got one bite in over 3 hrs. It sounds like I was fishing in the same general area you were! What type/color/bait were you using? I plan on going this weekend so was looking for a little guidance. Were you fishing the first rock face/point south of the dam on the west side which is somewhat near the intersection of the three arms?

Use a Green Watta Cricket with a KastMaster attractor and then tip the Cricket with 2 or 3 waxies,works for me.PEACE!!!

Slidemypipe,
Thanks for the response! I will give it a try this weekend. Are you actively jigging or a few jigs and pause technique. Thanks again. Oh yeah, did you make it out there today (Fri.). If so, how did you do?

Jig and pause technique seemed to work best.I also fished it on thursday night and only caught 1 splake.Fished until 10 at night and then the ice started to slip on the dam and scared the dog crap out of me.You will see that it is seperated. PEACE!!!
