I talked to a few different guys who said trout are hitting on spring meadow. No word on perch or bass though
To jig or not to jig... That is the question.

Ice line all the way to Hellgate today.  I would think that Silos is probably good to go out to the perch water at least on foot.

We scouted the ice yesterday on Black Sandy, the Causeway, and HVRR. Found a couple huts on the Causeway and about 8"; where as we found no tracks on the ice on Hauser and about 4-5" of clear ice so hope the weather gets cold again to thicken her up. Planning on hitting the Causeway this afternoon

Ive been at the holding reservoir and the cause way and both had almost a foot of ice. had some luck with walleyes and the causeway and not even a bite at the holding res spend almost 8 hours out there today? whats have people been using for lures/ bait for perch and walleyes so far?
When in doubt, drill Holes and figure them out

right at dark and all night. Use the 1/8 and 1/4 buckshot or pk spoon with a chunk of worm. Glow helps!

How much ice are you guys seeing on the causeyway.  Are people taking ATV's down past the power lines toward black sandy yet.  All this walleye talk may make me take a road trip tonight.
