The ice on snow is clear as glass and really soft, but the gills are biteing. brought home 15 in an hour and a half ,till it got dark and i couldnt see the bite any more. lots of little ones, kept fish in the 7-9" range
even caught a couple of the bigger ones on one of these and a black and purple #14 home made tear drop. i couldnt resist gettin out the ice fishin poles, love jiggin emup out of that 12 ft of water.
