The lake could afford to go c and r only for a few years.
I don't think that is the answer. I do think that in most years a lot of fish were being taken during the winter months, but if you think about the last 3 or 4 years and the milder winters the fishing would have improved with less people being able to get on the ice. The lake as also remained pretty high during the winter months so that may also help. My summer numbers were down last year but I did catch some better fish up into July but after that a lot of smaller fish. I keep very few as I don't eat fish and the wife can't anymore. I may have kept 5 all summer for my daughter. Over the years there have been a lot of up and down cycles. Most I believe are all based on spawning conditions in the spring that result in missing year classes. Just my .02....h2l
It was very rare for the lake to be so high most of the Winter. They started taking in down early in Jan. and it was dropping about 3 inches a day. It is now going down almost 6 inches a day. The lake is getting smaller and lots of stone walls, rock piles, humps, etc. are starting to show up along the shore lines. Be careful riding sleds out there....h2l
I am sure he did, it has dropped 8 feet since Jan. 1st...h2l
Nice pike!! How's the ice holding up with these temps?? Inches? Thanks jeff
Thank you . Just concerned about the food n fuel contest on the 6th.
I was really surprised to see how much it has gone down. Someone else was enjoying our normal spot today, so we went on an adventure. Fished 9-12, probably 3” or so of snow off the beaten path. My daughter fought this healthy pike for a bit until it saw the daylight and pulled the line out of her hands. Lol. Great day, great memories.
Wasnt that canceled?
Different tournament. The March 6th tournament is the weekend long tournament. The Walleye challenge scheduled for this pst weekend was canceled.

Beautiful pike.Your making me want to go back and give it another shot.
