Fished Lost creek today from 7:30-12:00. The first three hours was calm and did not snow. The last hour the wind started to blow and a light snow fall started. There was about 14"-16" of new snow at lost creek.
Started the day by steping into a hole that was drilled the day before and never froze during the night. One leg was wet up to my knee and my boot was full of water.
Caught alot of small trout and a few that where 12"-13". Theres about 3" of slushy/water on top of the ice. After walking around the hole for an hour it turns to mostly water. Several times when I tried to release the fish back into the hole the fish would swim away on top of the ice and then get stuck in some slush. When releasing the fish I had to make an extra effort to get the fish all the way threw the hole so he would swim back to the deep water instead of swiming on top of the ice.
