Joe's valley (report)

[fuzzyfisher]

went up to Joe's valley yesterday and had one of the best day's ice fishing i have had all year.. not becaus of just the fishing but the day was just perfect sun shine no wind and splake on tap all day!! we got there about 9:00 am yesterday got down the hill and started drilling holes..note there is no problem with the ice there!! it right up to the top of the ice and it about 30" thick!! i started getting hit right away on ice fly tiped with millworm hook 3 in about 20 min's then it stoped.. my buddy then started hitting them on white twist tail tiped thith power bait.. so i went to white tube tiped with sucker minnows and started hitting them again.. thats the way it went all day you just had to keep changing stuff around to keep catching fish.. just about any thing worked tip with millworm,minnows,or power bait.. worms did not work at all.. we cought splake all day steady.. we caught around 45 to 50 fish between the two of us..we did get 3 cutt's and 1 cutbow.. all the fish we caught was skinny and looked starved.. i think that they are not getting enough food in there for them.. or to many fish for the food they have.. still a great day on the lake!!!
