Can you guys that are familiar with the ice/slush conditions help me plan for heading out from the marina south towards Renegade... Will be taking the snowmobile with probably just one sled this trip... If we are going to be fighting heavy slush I'd like to know so we can modify plans on how far we travel... Recent reports of fish biting would be great as well. Thanks JeffWe took the shuttle service out on Sunday, they took us over to the renegade area. Seemed like the whole lake was just one big slush pool but the kids on their snowmobiles made it out just fine even with all our gear and my far behind on the sled. We found a fairly solid spot and fished in 40 FOW. Caught 30 fish between the two of us and Alicia caught the trifecta, cutthroat, rainbow, and a small Kokanee. She likes to use a chartreuse and pink pout from Ned's bait box and I bounced from White tube, pink tube, green grub and whatever else tickled my fancy. Early we caught them between 10-20 ft and later 25-30 and a few on the bottom. We'll be out again on Thursday again with the shuttle. If that's the day you're going maybe we'll see you out there.
