I called Keith to get some more details. It's a single big fish competition by weight, ties to be broken by second heaviest fish. Low harvest is encouraged. He seemed helpful and friendly

I fished by the dam today. I had the place to myself. Caught a dozen or so before 10. Nothing over 15 inches. The afternoon was slow but I still got 2 around the 20 inch mark.

How thick was the ice ?

[ashtoniceguy]

The ice was about a foot and a half. With the dam filling, there was slush under the snow in some areas.

Why are they still filling the resivore ? It is at 82% . Where are they going to put the run off this spring ? I wish they would let out what is going in and hold the level steady during ice fishing season . There must be alot of water on top of the ice the way the lake is raising .

Not good news. We come to Island Park every winter for a weeks vacation. We always try and fish a few days while we are there. We will be there the 14-20 of these month.

So if we can't get on the ice at island park, any other places to ice fish that are not to far away?
