To start my usual Fish Lake trip, I simply drive to the Twin Creeks area, change into my ice fishing garb (especially the blue tights with the S on it and my matching cape), and saunter out about 200 yards straight from the electric box. The water is about 60 feet there and you can catch nice rainbows on tube jigs or ice flies with any worm or splake on white or glow 2" tube jigs with perch or sucker meat. Have a designated perch person go in close to the weed bed that goes around the perimeter of the lake and catch some perch. Morning and evening are best in that area with midday doing well farther East across the lake in deeper water on the bottom for lakers or suspended 20-40 feet for bows and splake. Of course your success will probably have nothing to do with my suggestions since what I try doesn't always seem to work. Oh, yeah, you may want to move around a lot - I always say I'm going to do that but I usually dont. Good luck, see some eagles and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors - and stay warm. At Fish Lake, the worse the weather, the better the fishing - for me anyway.
