If you ask me I say that lake is cursed.
You need electronics to fish it right. If you dont have electronics you can stay in the "zone". However, electronics by its self still wont get ya a fish. pay attention to baro readings and moon phases. Persistence, Patientence, and luck.
Fill your funnel with lots of trips and it will one day pay off. My buddy put in a lot of time on the lake this winter (first year he fished the lake) and he manged several hook ups and 5 or 6 lake trout out of the hole.
I would not pay any attention to ice huts on the lake. Get a topo map and find some areas along the shelf of the bowl at about 110 to 130 feet and jig some large plastic tubes (solid white) on some 1/2 to 3/4 oz jig hooks in about 70-90 feet.
Good Luck
send me a PM if you want more detailed info, not that I dont want to share, just dont want to type with my thumbs all day.
