I fished Echo last Sat morning. Be careful where you enter the ice if you don't go to the ramp. We had to scale the rocks at the shore line for about 1000 yards before we found a safe place to walk out on the ice. There is a new 1 to 2 " thick layer of ice around the shore with about 1 foot of water under it before you reach the old ice under that. We were closer to the dam than the ramp. Standard rigs fished on the very bottom did well for perch. We never found the trout though. Perch meat worked better than wax worms because it stayed on the hook longer.I hope the snow they call for doesn't give us too much grief. I will be at Rockport with my wife.I will have my radio on channel 12 at Rockport DKS
