Title: Iron Creek Lake (Spearfish, SD) 1-3,-09
Post by: Outdoors_Junkie on Jan 03, 2009, 06:50 PM

I went out to Iron Creek Lake with a buddy today.  There was 8-10 inches of ice.  We fished from noon until 4 pm.  We caught two nice sized rainbow trout.  We were using wax worms.  We fished in about 28-30 FOW.  We had a lot of nibbles, but could hook em.  It was a fun day on the ice!

We tried Newell Lake this morning, but there was a 40 mph wind up there.  So, we decided to head to Iron Creek.

Walleye on Newell aren't hitting until night right now from what I hear...

        I've been fishing Iron Creek since the 10Th of Dec.and everywhere on the lake has been productive.
      It has slowed down a bit since the 10Th,but it still is producing. You're right about waxies.Try using a small teardrop.I find there easier to hook with the small teardrop.I'm new to the area.I live in Spearfish,and get up there a couple times a week.
