[angelic]Me!? Suggest a party? NOOOO[blush]
I was thinking ice-out (typically late April). Still pretty cold at night, but the bite is unbelievable![cool] I've fished there when half of the lake is open. Just find any structure along the edge of the ice (even though the structure may be 60-90 feet down) and wait for the thumpin. For about the first 3 weeks after the ice breaks up, that lake can easily produce 100 fish days (and I don't mean perch). Although I've never caught that many in a day; The guide, Steve Partridge, that showed us how to fish the lake did on the day we went out with him. The five of us that were lucky enough to be in the right place at teh right time for him to offer his services for free, probably averaged 25 fish each that day.
