Joatmon and I fished near the Madsen Bay boat ramp today. We caught 6-7 fish each, mostly cutthroat, and one rainbow. They were all about 11-14 inches. We were in 13 fow and we caught fish both on the bottom and up closer to the top. Most of my fish came on my go-to green Rat Finkee with waxworm. Green PowerBait nuggets also accounted for several. We couldn't get any to bite on chub meat but our neighbors on the ice were just killing them with it. The bite was very light. I ended up handlining a couple as I hooked up while messing with the line. The ice was ~12" thick with just a couple of inches of powdery snow. No slush, no chubs.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
