We just couldnt hook them.[pirate] I even set Lisa up with a strike detector and still she had problems hooking up.The bites were not that soft either.They would whack your bait once and leave it alone.We still havent developed the feel for ice fishing maybe with more outings we will get the hang of it.The fish came in big schools like ery 10-30 minutes.I am going to fish that part of scofield next time i go there was a lot of action in that area.

I was wondering if you made it up there today. I hope you found it a little warmer at Schofield than it was at the berry. Glad you had a good time.

Thanks for the Scofield report. I usually icefish Scofield but haven't even made it up this winter. My wife is wanting me to take her, too, so we'll give 'er a try.

One thing about scofield is that there wasnt much fishing pressure like the berry usually gets and the ice was a solid 20 inches plus.And you didnt have to walk far to get into the fish .Those are the reasons my wife liked it there.We will be out there agin first weekend in march.

Has anyone checked out the creek below the dam? Is it iced over? I would like to get up there and fish it as soon as its ice free but I know last year it froze up pretty tight.... Hey Ocean, if you make it up there again or if anyone else does, will you guys let me know how the creek is? Thanks.[cool] Its just a long drive for me to go to check an iced up river..... since I don't ice fish at all either, the lake wouldn't be productive for me.

As i went over the dam the river below was running fast! I dont think it would ice over with as much water as was flowing out the dam.

Great, thats music to my ears.... I love fishing that river there. I've caught some nice browns out of there. Anyway, enough about that. I may have to make a run up there.... How were the roads up to the state park?? Are they clear or were they icy?? I wonder if the river further down is iced where it slows in the bends and that.... Its supposed to snow here shortly according to the usually incorrect weathermen we have to depend on so that probably cuts out this weekend... [mad] Bummer. Maybe in March... Its been a while and I miss that place...
