Fish Lake...meh! 1-26

[whipper-snapper]

Started out this morning at 7:30, fished the North side of the lake trying for some pups--nothing came of it. Moved in front of the Lodge at 65 fow, fish were littering the flasher. We landed 2 incy wincy splake and then the dreaded lock jaw plagued the fish. We tried everything we had for 2 hours, fish were schooling around 50 ft and still nothing happened.

Got fed up with the slow fishing so we moved again. Tried in front of Bowery at 25-40 fow--caught tons of dinky perch, the best were 7" and a handful of small rainbows.

It was snowing all day with a few 15 minute breaks in between squalls. At least the wind wasn't howling.

I was out on the south end yesterday, I was fishing in 85 feet of water. There was a bunch of folks trying for the macs but nit a lot of catching. I talked to one group that spent 4 hours on the ice and only had 1 bite. I was fortunate enough to land a few pups as well as some rainbows and splake that were suspended at 20-40 feet. Tough day, there's about 5-6 inches of snow on the ice as of yesterday, I'm guessing there will be slush by next weekend.
