I prefer to fish the opposite side of the lake from the boat ramp in 6-10fow some do better deeper but I have never had that luck. I have done good at the damn and in between the ramp and the damn. For sure take night crawlers they seem to like those better than any bait I have used up there. Waxies do ok early in the morning. The standard white and pink paddle bugs/cutter bugs work well and dont be scared to down size to some crappie and perch size jigs in the same colors. Orange is alwasy a good stand by. If you have a machine I would recommend it. Makes moving farther and faster easier. The ice is plenty thick all over the lake. Last report on ther Idaho R&C was giving it 12in. Look thru the chester R&C board, definately helps. If you go back thru the pages on the main Idaho board you will find chester post with some good info.
