 Donyboy, I see this is your first post. Welcome to the site..I hope down the road you don't post where you catch all your fish. The next time you go back there will be hundreds of fisherman on your spot. Hope you remember that.

Thanks for the report, everybody in the state knows Frye is a lake to fish. It is listed several time in the Nebraska fishing forecast, how else would people from Omaha be there.
It is like all lakes some days you might get supper if your lucky.

Welcome Dony Boy!!
Agree with Big44!
Nebraska provides lots of public information.  Not many secrets out there unless its private property.
Sand Hills are great fun and should be enjoyed responsibly. 
Resonable catch numbers and selective harvest should be taught, learned and practiced.
Catch and release was not popular years ago.   
Tight lines every one.

Thanks for posting. I am 2 1/2 hours from frye and rarely hit it on the ice. As a kid, 45years ago it was a favorite family lake. I have very fond memories of dad, mom and 3 brothers drifting in a rowboat. Crappie rigs tipped with crawler and a 1/2 oz bell sinker.  In the day, with no panfish limits, we raped that lake by today's standards  Ate them all and wasted none.  Ate a ton of perch eggs fried in butter over a Coleman stove out of a cast iron frying pan.  Any post on frye brings back a swell of memories. The good old days. And if we hadn't kept them all, those days would still be with us.  Maybe

We want to take some kids there Saturday and have never fished it before . Any tips or cautions ?

[Sandbilly]

Plenty of small perch to keep kids busy all day. Larger pan fish seem to be more active during low light periods.

1-15-2017. There was a small area of white ice about 1/3 the way east down the lake on the north side that had 9 inches of ice when everything else averaged 12-15". Looks like a spring hole iced over when it snowed. It was solid ice on Sunday but I would not walk on it now with this warm up. Edges are probably getting a little sloppy but everything should be holding.

Good luck.

Does anyone have any ice condition info on Frye recently. We want to try it but have heard that the ice is getting iffy and don't want to drive up there and not be able to fish. Thanks

I haven't heard about the ice but am really familiar with Frye. I can't imagine that it's not fishable still, obviously be careful.

Talked to a guy that went yesterday. I've is good 10-12".

We fished it Tuesday and the ice is about 10"-11" with some snow on top. It was really slow and not many keeper fish all of the pressure its seen over the last two years is starting to show, good luck.

[IceHutt]

OK,  Thanks for the info.

3 of us fished Frye from 7:00 AM to 4:00 today (Saturday 2-4-17)  Fished in 6 different locations around the lake.  Bite was extremely SLOOOOOOOW !    Perch were very good shape and of decent size.  Ice was 9 to 12" and solid.  Top was getting very wet and snow almost all melted when we left.    Don't know how long the ice will hold up with the upcoming monsoon in the forecast.  Be safe !  Happy Trails !
