Went to Causey on Saturday and fished the scout arm. We arrived at about 9:00 and started our descent down the steep face. We were surprized to a moose running around on the ice in our spot. When we got down to the edge of the ice, I tried to step out on the ice and went through up to my waist. Everybody else did the same thing but we managed to flop up onto the solid 8 inches (just the edges are soft). We began fishing and started whipping fish out left and right. We caught Splake, Cutts, Bows, and Tigers and one that we caught looked kind of like a brook but I think it is just a dark splake. We caught 30 fish between the three of us in about two hours and at 12:00 the fishing came to a halt and we left with our limits of fish. The hot bait was salmon eggs but they were also hitting jigs tipped with powerbait.
There are deer, elk, and moose everywhere up there right now, so if you want to get out and see some wildlife, go fish Causey. I took some video of a nice Bull Elk and some turkeys on the way up, when I figure it out I will post it. I took some pics of the fish, see if you can figure out if the top fish on the last picture is a splake or a brook.
