I drove up to Fish Lake on Saturday morning, and arrived at about 8 a.m. The parking lot of was full of rigs, with people loading their sleds in preparation of going out on the ice. When I walked out, I counted sixty people, either fishing or pulling their gear to a spot to drill their holes. There is slush and frozen tracks on the path, and walking is awkward. When I last checked, there was five inches of ice. I do want to caution people that there are some springs that thin the ice in certain areas, so you always need to be sure you have good solid ice beneath you when you set up to fish. Anglers are using nightcrawlers and maggots, either on a bare or jig hook, and many put a Swedish Pimple at the end of their line. Perch are the main target, and some are catching trout, and those who jig a Kokabow blade above a Swedish Pimple, baited with corn, have chance of catching the kokanee that are now available in Fish Lake. There is a warming trend in the forecast, and I am not sure how long the ice will hold up.
