CONDITIONS: Roads clear with a few icy spots. Minimal snow with just an inch or two of new powder on the lake. All fishing access areas are open. Electric hook up sites available. Ice thickness running 30 inches.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Action has slowed as is typical for February. However the action west from Cross Creek to Sucker Cove remains consistent with lots of fish moving about. Getting them to hit is always the trick. Try Tiny Tots, Rat Finke’s, Sparkle Tubes and Paddle Bugs tipped with Wax or Meal Worm. Witchers Cove saw a recent stocking of catchable Rainbows that seem to still be hanging around so that might be a good place to take the kids.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO GOOD: Limits are still being caught but it is very spot specific. Fish may congregate under you for hours with your buddies 50 feet away seeing absolutlely nothing. Jigging machine and Vexilar are most useful tools. Gold 1/4 oz Kastmaster, Swedish Pimple PFO #4, pink Sparkle Tubes and other spoons and small micro jigs doing well.  Wax worms seem to be more productive than meal worms. Channel areas out from North Shore to Goose Island and east of Deer Island are consistent. Bite times vary through out the day with mid morning being good. Wait through the day and sometimes you will see a strong showing 2:30PM ro 3:30PM.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: Afternoons still see the bigger fish. This season has witnessed more big fish (over 15 lbs) than we have seen in a long time. Waterdogs are hard to find so try a whole sucker suspended on a quick strike rig about 3 feet below the ice. Tubes and spoons tipped with sucker or crawler also htting well. Fish have been caught all around the lake. Look to the rocks to hold the big ones.

WINTER HOURS: Saturday, Sunday and Holidays 6:00AM – 4:00PM. Monday-Friday by reservation.
