My son and I went to Echo yesterday. We got there at sunrise. Fishing was terrible, which maybe explains why we only saw about a half-dozen groups out there all day. We started just North of the resort in about 30' of water. Not a bite. Moved further up by the dam, same result. Tried in shallower and got some light bites (Perch maybe?). The edges were solid due to the 9 degree overnight temps. Ice was consistently 6" with about an inch of snow on top, so walking was easy. Left frustrated and fishless since none of our proven tactics were working. I wonder if there was a die-off this summer due to the low water? Usually we have done very well in winter.
