Cold!!!!!!!!! Sunny, windy very windy Wednesday. Started Tues. afternoon at Twin Creeks and caught about a dozen rainbows 11-15" and missed one about 4#. All on white whatta crickets and boogers with crawlers. Suspended 20' in up to 60' of water. A few 10-14" splake in same area on green and white ratsos with yellow body with wax worm. Went to east side straight across from Twin Creeks and did about the same. Wednesday = wind!!!!!!!! Sunny but up to 40 mph with temps in 20's. A few hardy souls caught some macs to 17" on brown/yellow 2" tube jigs. A few rainbows, perch and small splake caught. We were on east side on north end. Thursday - sunny again. Twin Creeks with a dozen bows in same size then south east with one 14" splake.
All in all, lots of fun but very few fish. No one seemed to be doing too well. Ice is 18-24" thick with about 6" of powdery snow on top. One fellow on Thurs. did well near Twin Creeks with a green paddlebug and meal worm. It's day to day - fish cop said one day is good with usual technique then next day with same approach = nothing.
