Oakley is looking pretty thin

Hey Reel Trouble thanks for the update on Oakley (the pics really say it all). I was actually planning to go there on Sunday and now know to try my luck elsewhere.

Reel trouble · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 31, 2011, 12:17 AM »

No problem at all i was hoping driving up there it would still be in decent shape for tomorrow but no such luck. Hope ya find some place for this weekend our ice is kinda shot over here and with the way the forecast looks next week it wont get much better.

IDbasser · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 31, 2011, 06:52 PM »

Thanks for the pic update. Was thinking of going Monday, Probably not now $:-\$ Have not heard back from my brother-in-law

Reel trouble · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 01, 2012, 11:32 PM »

TroutKid223 · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 08, 2012, 08:23 PM »

Oakley Res. Report? I heard through the grapevine that the ice had set back up on the West end where Trapper Creek comes in (6-7inches). Does anyone know if this is true?

If all else fails look at the upper end of goose creek we went by there today and had to stop to take a look didn't have a spud but tire iron reviled some fish able ice, just watch the edges

Yeah Fooshnix that'd be great. Good Luck Fishing!!

Fished Oakley Reservoir this afternoon. 7 to 8 inches of ice where I was fishing. There is also a large spot with open water and there was even one boat out there fishing. Looks like plenty of fishable ice though. I fished for about and hour and a half and caught 8 fish that averaged 14-16 inches. Not a bad day!

What kind of fish?

Nice work Fooshnix. Sounds like a good day to me, for only fishing an hour and a half. I think I'm going to try and make it up there within the week (hopefully). Thanks for the report!

Oakley turning out some nice bows ice 12 to 14 inches of ice at upper goose creek

Groundtrac · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 10:09 AM »

Did you hook that one on the jawjacker? Just curious.

Reel trouble · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 12:08 PM »

Out of the 14 we caught 4 were hooked on the jaw jacker. the day before had several hits on them and no hookups. I went in and got some larger jigs with probably size 8 hooks and it helped a lot there is a learning curve to them for sure

2dogs · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 04:43 PM »

I was missing fish with my Jaw Jacker as well but I changed to a #8 trebble hook and started hooking up after that. $:-\$

idahopanfish · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 06:46 PM »

I was there Saturday up on the Goose Creek end. Had 12-14" of ice and the trout were playing.

Those are some nice looking fish!!! A buddy and I went out there this morning and landed 37 trout and one walleye. Where were you fishing this last weekend? We were fishing in that cove by the open water where trapper creek dumps in. Headed back there in the morning.

The Walleye was about 15 inches long. There is still a large spot of open water out in the middle. Some guys were out there fishing it from the bank today and I talked to one group that limited out so it must have been okay fishing open water.
