My son and I went to Cleveland today just for fun, figured there would be no pressure and we were right there was nobody. The snow on the way down to the lake was pretty deep and made for a tiring climb out which is probably why there was nobody. We fished from 9 to 12:30 before the wind blew us off the lake. The fishing was awsome for 12 to 16 inch rainbows. We had bites within a minute of putting our lines down every time. Was a lot of fun for the six year old because I was so busy he had to do it all himself, I just took the fish off for him. I also caught two cutthroat that were 19 inches each, but I released them not knowing if the regulations were the same as Huntington or not. Turns out I could have kept them but I like rainbows just as much anyway, they're less mushy and easier to fillet. Would be a great place for snow shoes or a snowmobile. We fished in 30 feet of water but that's just because it was the first place we tried and didn't need to move. The fish would bite at any depth but we caught most about two feet off the bottom with a light green rat finkie and wax worm.
