I have been asked to provide some photos of my survey of four ice fishing lakes up north. I spent three days and visited Curlew, Bonaparte, Palmer and Patterson lakes. I can do even better. I made a video of my trip, and it is now available on the Dave Graybill channel on You Tube. Check it out and let me know what you think. Since we have had some warm days I thought that Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee, would be a slushy mess. I drove up there last Sunday morning. There was just one rig in the parking area when I arrived a little before 8 a.m., so I thought the word was out that the ice conditions were poor. I walked out on the lake and was surprised to see that there was no snow on the surface and no sign of slushy conditions at all. Just after eight the troops started to arrive. Two big groups and a couple of pairs of anglers made their way out on the ice. I could see that the two anglers that arrived before me were catching perch. I think everyone had a great day on Fish Lake.
Conditions were great for a day of ice fishing at Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee.
