Well it was everything we wanted it to be. Got there about 8:15 am and set out onto the ice....LOTS of slush.
Drilled a few holes (I really needed a gas auger) and got poles put in the water. It wasn't long and the perch were on. I set up one pole for perch and another for trout. After a while I had to set the secound pole up for trout as well. Landed several perch,rainbows and a few splake. The largest fish being a rainbow that was 19 inches. The biggest surprise was the 18 inch sucker I pulled out.
We were fishing in 35 feet of water and stayed untill 4:30 pm. Sun was shinning and there was a little bit of wind but not bad. But again the slush was horrible. There was about 6 inches of snow and 8 inches of really wet slush.

Thanks for posting your report Redfrog, sounds like a fun day. Were there many folks fishing there that day? How thick was the ice? WH2

Not as many people there as we thought we were going to see. Most did not stay long either. The ice was around 18-20 inches.

Thanks for the report. Were you north, south, middle or east (general location)? I am trying to avoid the slush as much as possible. Any suggestions?

We were midway between where the road ends and the outhouse around 400 yds out. There was slush from the edge all the way out to where we fished. It was not to bad early in the morning but as it warmed up the crusty snow got soft and easy to break through.
