me and a budy might go to twin lake(norther idaho) for some perch and crappie(if anyone wants to tell me where to get the crappies)

The perch on lower twin are small. I see crappie on fish finder about 20 feet. Usually the perch crowd them out. I caught them out next to the rocks in the deep water. Did you see the picture of the new state record. Is is posted in idaho section. Use glow jigs and charge them up often.

Can you still get on the ice at the east end of Fernan?

i talked to a friend and he said he wouldnt go fishing on it do to it being unsafe

stjoemitch · « **Reply #1776 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 08:26 AM »

Thanks for the report. I guess it's Twin or Moose Creek or put my stuff away.

RayneBidziil22 · « **Reply #1778 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 02:55 PM »

ok finncatcher would you be willing to tell us where you getting these do to the ice nearly being gone

Idahogator · « **Reply #1779 on:** Mar 03, 2014, 03:38 PM »

We've got to follow him.

Only problem with that is, we can't find him.

But there is a clue in that photo of gills & crappie, it's a N. ID news paper.

Hauser lake in Idaho.

If it's ND ice it's Smishek lake.

Guess I will go try lower twin tomorrow if it isn't to windy.

sihlms391 · « **Reply #1782 on:** Mar 05, 2014, 05:16 PM »

Lower twin is flooded with inches of water and slush. Went to granite and it had six inches water at launch. Then went to kelso and it was great on top. Little slush but has snow on it still. Ice is 12 plus inches.

What species of fish are in Kelso? Drove by Hauser and it was flooded and a rock near the shore had popped a hole that water on top of ice was draining into. Will be open water soon. I put my stuff away.

Mainly trout spring. Going to start doing out and freezing at nigh next week

beandip · « **Reply #1785 on:** Mar 11, 2014, 03:13 PM »

Trout at Spring Valley are still hitting it as easily as ever... Ice appeared to be stable when I stepped off the dock, but I wasn't taking any chances out there alone so I fished through holes off the dock.
This weekend I hit up open water on a little mud hole near Lewiston and pulled in some nice sized bullheads with my lady.

Idahogator · « **Reply #1786 on:** Mar 11, 2014, 03:44 PM »

YUM ! Those are very nice Beandip.

RayneBidziil22 · « **Reply #1787 on:** Mar 12, 2014, 02:59 PM »

does anyone know if rose lake area is froozen and still safe

BlueDuck · « **Reply #1788 on:** Mar 13, 2014, 08:07 AM »

Beandip, that's a great way to transition from the ice to open water. Good job.

beandip · « **Reply #1789 on:** Mar 13, 2014, 12:04 PM »

Yesterday, I ventured out on to the ice at Spring Valley with a couple of other gentlemen who went out ahead and check the ice... it was sketchy, but appeared to be stable with maybe 4-5 inches of solid ice underneath a few inches of soft stuff. I am not advocating going out there right now, especially if you are alone, but it can be done still, just not sure for how much longer. My guess is this is the last week. The trout were hitting fairly consistently and a report from the far side of the res was that the bluegill/crappie were slow.

Does anyone know if there is open water on Fernan yet? I will be in the cda/post falls area this weekend and I was hoping to venture out that way for some channel cat action from the bank in open water... I don't think we'll chance the ice there at this point. Any info would be much appreciated!

Right now there is open water near the docks on both the east end and south end of the lake but most of the lake still has a sheet of rotten ice over it. It's going pretty fast though. The water is a bit stained from the runoff.

i seen alot of people fishing for trout on the side with the 2 docks(the first part of the lake you can get to)

beandip · « **Reply #1792 on:** Mar 14, 2014, 03:44 PM »

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the info on Fernan!

BlueDuck · « **Reply #1793 on:** Mar 17, 2014, 02:17 PM »

I drove by Fernan lake today and it was all open water.

Idahogator · « **Reply #1798 on:** Nov 08, 2014, 10:06 PM »

Haha, careful what you wish for.

bullpine · « **Reply #1799 on:** Nov 11, 2014, 08:50 PM »

It's in the teens. Maybe we will be fishing next week! Wait a minute I've got to shoot a deer first.
