Thanks for the taking me ice fishing for the first time Bug. Frankly, I never saw the appeal before but became interested after seeing so many positive posts on this site. It was much funner than I thought it would be and I'm hooked. My wife asked me to thank you because now she can get me out of the house year round.
My dad took me to Cascade in the 70's and we caught some nice perch but I haven't seriously fished it until the last three years. It is a big lake and the fishing can be real spotty but if you put your time in, it can be good. The perch fishing speaks for itself but there are also some big trout and cohos and the smallmouth fishing is surprisingly good. I'll be spending a lot of time there this year.
As far as the Bug becoming a fishing guide.........he definitely has enough game but his bedside manner could be improved. After about the tenth time of him frantically pointing to a rod and yelling at me:
"DUDE, YOU DON'T HAVE A BITE"
I wouldn't have tipped him.
