I'll be headed up to Island Park for the new year, and among other things I've been thinking about trying my luck on Elk Lake. Has anyone ice fished it before? Licensing is cheap, and it's a pretty short snowmobile ride for us. Thanks!

I've never snowmobiled into elk. I have gone into Wade lake many times. It always great but usually doesn't freeze until mid January.

I haven't but a couple of yrs ago had a friend tell me it was one of his best ice fishing trips he'd had. Was near the end of Jan I believe- lake trout was on the menu

Have fly fished there for some pretty cutts. From what I know the lake trout are mostly gone as they put emergence catch and release regs on them a few years back. Used to be a great grayling lake too but they've completely disappeared.
