Thanks for the advice. Saturday sure was frustrating for me. In hind site I do recall that there was a thin sheet of ice we had to break through in order to access the water last year. I guess that was enough to make a difference. Last year I was netting cisco 5-8 at a time and limited out in 15 minutes.
It looks like those that are able to net during the work week will have the most success this year. Timing is everything sometimes. I always wondered how they scheduled an event like this weeks in advance without knowing when the migration would take place. I spoke with the ID DWR on our way out and they relayed that they (the fishermen)had been struggling to hook enough cisco via boat to have readily available to fry for the event, which made me feel a bit better about calling it early.
It was good to see so many people at the event and hopefully the local economy benefitted.
