HIT FISH LAKE ON SATURDAY THE MARCH 1 AWESOME DAY, THERE IS ABOUT 5" OF HARD SNOW ON 20+" OF ICE THE HARD SNOW MADE IT A PIECE OF CAKE FOR THE 4 WHEELERS EDGES ARE HARD AND EASY TO ACCESS. FISHING WAS OUTSTANDING FISHED IN 18' OF WATER AND CAUGHT SPLACK PERCH AND A NICE RAINBOW. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY WAS A 4 1/2 POUND SPLAKE ALL FISH WERE CAUGHT ON AN ICE FLIES OR CHATRUCE CURLY TAIL JIGS BELOW AN ATTRACTOR TIPPED WITH WAX WORMS TRIED PERCH EYES AND PERCH MEAT BUT WAXWORMS WERE WHAT THE FISH WANTED. IT WAS VERY STEADY ALL DAY LONG.
OTTER CREEK HAS OPEN WATER ON THE EDGES AND THE ICE LOOKS "ROTTEN" BUT IN THE 15 MINUTES WE WERE STANDING THERE TRYING TO DECIDE TO GO OUT OR NOT WE WATCHED A GROUP OF 5 FISHERMAN ABOUT 30 YARDS OFF SHORE ICE 5 RAINBOWS. EVEN WITH IT BEING THAT FAST I JUST COULD SEE GETTING WET. THE GUYS ON THE ICE BROUGHT BOARDS TO GET OUT ON.
HOPE THIS HELPS TIGHT LINE BOYS.
