Fish Lake report/ Otter Creek is capped - stan55 - 01-17-2025

Hit Fish Lake today. Perch bite was pretty hot until 2pm. Caught 11 that were between 9 and 10 inches rest were 5 to 8. Not too bad for Fish Lake. Quit counting at 50 perch guessing close to seventy. Only trout I caught was a 17-inch splake. Saw a couple trout type marks during the day. Unusual for the spot I was fishing as I catch anywhere from a dozen to two dozen bows a trip. They just weren't around. Ice was 8". I was fishing 15 to 18 feet deep. Only saw a handful of other groups fishing. No wind sunny temps in 20s to low thirties. Doesn't get much better for Fish Lake in January.

Otter Creek was completely capped and several groups were ice fishing in the dam area.

Lakeside marina or Joe Bush? Not asking for anything beyond that Smile

The latter. Only one group at Lakeside. Two at Twin Creek and another out of the Bowery. Three scattered groups out of Joe Bush.

My nephew and I fished it the 16th and 17th. Northend at Joe's. Nice splakes and some nice size perch. Threw back so good size bows as well.
