This is my second season ice fishing at Fish Lake. Took the family out to the north end with my new Clam XL 2000 shelter which was awesome. The bow fishing was quick in about 40' with most fish around the 15' range but the little ones can only be occupied for so long [
] So we only fished for a few hours but it was good fun. The ice was 5-7" thick so maybe a little butt clinching at times since it was crystal clear in most areas.
My question is this what do most people use for the rainbows and splakes? I have not had trouble getting the perch but I did notice after a little bit many fish were coming up and then darting away from the jig with wax worms (used foxee jigs, paddle bugs, gizits, white and chartreuse). Thought it might be scent so I put some shrimp scent but didn't change response. Thoughts and experience?
Thanks in advance.
