Hi Jeff,
The whole lake is far from capped. My friend who lives over there said the only fishable ice is in Knight Hollow and only at the east end of the bay. We fished off the long rocky point that heads west/northwest from the shore. The ice was about 5 inches of clear, solid ice. There was much thinner ice in the same area so anyone would have to be very careful like we were. We had my throw rope handy!
We fished in 14 to 22 feet of water and did pretty good. We caught only rainbows. I tried a Lindy Darter 1 3/8" perch lure that I use at Cascade for the jumbo perch. I caught about 10 rainbows on the lure but no walleye I was trying to target.
Most of the rainbows were the 10 to 13 inch size but we did get a handful of the bigger, heavier fish.
Let me know if you want to go with me to Cascade this winter. I'm trying to find a partner for a mid January trip and I'm going back in mid February for the Tackle Tom's tourney around the 17th and 18th of Feb..
