Not sure about togue and salmon. But I've pulled some monster smallies out of there
Fishing is easy. Catching is the hard part.

Slow lake but there’s some good fish in there.

If you do not catch fish in an hour, move. Do that until you find fish. They just changed it from 2 traps to 5 traps for the first time in a few decades, so there is that.

The best advice if you don't find fish under the ice is to move and fish in open water.  Water has 3 states....liquid, solid, and gas/steam. I haven't mastered catching fish in steam yet  ;D

I don't know about that, Nick.  I keep trying.  At some point, I'll just blow smoke, catch on fire, and turn to dust.....never know at my age ;D

As expected, January started strong, but tailed way off.  Still scraping up a few, but Feb. and Mar. will be very tough from the look of things.

4-6" of ice in the Vega area with more snow to come, should make a lovely mess.
