Ice Fishing

[CLUTCHDOGG]

Just wondering if anybody has been out in the Flathead area ice fishing and how much ice?  Also have not fished these lakes around here much just wondering where theres pike?  Also if anybody knows if there is any Ling around this area?
Thanks

You can get pike in arod, frances, tiber, marias river.....pretty much anywhere w/smelt and a swedish wally hook on tip-ups

There's also Ling in Tiber. 
But I doubt C-Dogg will consider that to be in the Flathead/Kallispell area.

OK ClutchDogg, in all seriousness now
Here's a good place to look
http://fwp.mt.gov/fishing/guide/filterquery.aspx?q=REGN_1_1

Lakes with Pike and Perch
Abbot lake, Peterson Lake  and Echo Lake (all next to each other just N of Bigfork)
Also, Upper and Lower Stillwater, Spencer and Skyles, (all north of Whitefish on hwy 93).

I haven't found any in your area with ling yet.  If you do find them, they won't be on the primary species listing.  You have to click on "detailed report" for each lake and then look on the "all species present" list for that lake.  By the way, they will be listed as burbot if they are on the FWP species list for a lake.

Eureka !!! (pun intended)
I have found ling North and North west of Whitefish

I'm pumped; Ling is one of my favorite fish to catch and to eat. 

So here's the two places to try.

Blue Lake:  it's on the west side of the railroad track just a mile south of Stryker.

And . . . are you ready for this ? ? ?

I'm sure I don't have to give any mention as to how to find that body of water
