Montpelier Reservoir Report 1/17/15

[buckhunterhart]

We were able to hit the hard deck for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon at Montpelier Reservoir. The road in was snow packed and there were a half dozen other vehicles in the parking area. The ice was 12" or more where we fished with about 2 inches of new snow on top (which may have turned to mush with the warm weather in the last couple of days). Fishing was pretty stead for perch. We caught 6 or so in about an hour and a half on the ice. There was at least one atv out there as well. My nephew had a pretty good time.

We were there on the 17th as well. I assume that was you not too far out from the west shore and a couple hundred yards or so south of the parking lot.
My girls and I set up in the main channel right in the middle and caught about 35 perch in the couple hours or so that we were there. Never caught any trout though. Turned our dink perch into chowder when we got home[]

That was us. Ever have any luck with the kokanee on the ice. I tend to do pretty well with a certain spot from the float tube in the summer, but have never landed one on the ice.
