I made it up there late after 1 pm.
Hopefully the portion of the lake you were on held fish. We set up on the west side, second restroom, and all that was there was ice and snow. I landed one dink out of five bites from 1:30-4 pm in 54’-20’ of water. Did not mark a single suspended trout from top to bottom.
I did not care.
The weather was spectacular.
The elk and deer were all over the place and the fresh air was intoxicating.
The perch I caught was 5 inches. I didn’t bother to walk your way lol.
Word of wet caution. Edges along the west shoreline are solid in spots and butter in others. I watched my 10 year attempt to go sledding on the west shoreline slopes. As he approached the shore he slowed down and went through to his knees. Then I watched my wife fall over laughing at his attempt to get himself out. Then I watched her go through to her knees pulling him out.
Obviously I was getting one of my few bites and I could not help.
It was beautiful up there, aside from the ugly homes littering the horizon.
