I saw group of 8-10 with 2x as many tip-ups on the east ent of Blanchard (furthest from in/outflow)--did not check ice conditions, but looks fine except where it's not. Harpers has 12-15" of ice, fished it yesterday 1 smally RBT ~12" , but saw lot's of fish through the hole crusing the bottom in 10-15' fow. 1st day with a new pop-up shelter (like wrestling an octopus to set it up first time), totally digging the blackout effect, saw more fish yesterday than I've seen all year. Also went to Salmon Lake for the first time caught a bunch of mini perch 6-8", where all the big ones at?
