dogs waiting for the next one through the hole

right on ,fishing was good today i see...i think i'll give it a try tomorrow ..just not sure where yet

kodiak80 · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 20, 2011, 08:04 PM »

i was out on sunday and did well for rainbows. took out a newbie ice fisherman, and got him hooked

. we landed 16 in a few hours, and kept our limits this time. a few small ones for the pan, and the rest a bit bigger for baking or for the grill. local pg lake where the fish taste great.

pretty slow day at cobb today...only 5 small brookies for our efforts but the grader came in and did the road while we were there.....scraped down the ice so the roads good right to the landing

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 21, 2011, 09:20 PM »

good to know the access is good to cobb... there are some bigguns in there, just have to search for em!!!

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 22, 2011, 01:02 AM »

eena indeed, has some fish that look just like that.... thanks for the tip on the road to cobb.

kodiak80 · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 22, 2011, 10:50 AM »

i don't think eena lake is a secret to anyone. in my experience it is the most heavily pressured ice fishing lake around pg.

that being said, i've been out there many times and limited out and seen all sorts of yahoos say there are no fish

dukes69 · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 22, 2011, 11:06 AM »

Nice fish guys, way to go. thanks for the info on cobb too.

IceDrisher · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 22, 2011, 07:46 PM »

Is it just me, or was Cobb way better about 5 years ago?

Just another lake ruined by stocking it with Rainbows. $:-\$ should have stuck with just Brookies

Cobb Lake has been stocked with rainbows for more than 25 years!- I always find it funny how folks have a couple of slow trips and suddenly the sky is caving in.

check out the link below if you don't believe it.

Cheers.

Cobb lake was great fishing about 10-15 years ago. Its still good now however it seems that there is way more fishing pressure. I have had less luck there in the past few years and the easy access doesn't help. Its a great family destination! Personally I like a little more quiet.

Kenbo3 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 23, 2011, 11:41 AM »

cobb and eena are no secrets and are indeed great lakes for families with young kids. we still seem to do alright at cobb but as mentioned, there is alot of pressure out there these days. plenty of fish but not nearly as big as ten years ago.

Aerator · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 25, 2011, 11:26 PM »

Cobb was one of the first lakes that I iced fished. It was originally stocked with brookies about 25 years ago. We enjoyed some great ice fishing there. It was never as good when it first opened for ice fishing.
I often flyfish Cobb in the spring for rainbows. The past two years the fishing has been slower and the catch size smaller. Just may have hit it at the wrong time but just didn't seem as fishy as it should have been.
It is one one the heavier fished lakes in the region, due to easy access and draws fishers and campers from PG and Hoof.

i've never had a lot of success at vivian. i personally think it is over rated, and wouldn't waste my time fishing there. ya, you'll get the odd nice brookie, but, there are far better lakes in the PG area.

Ya that lake sucks I never catch anything there

IceDrillerFishKiller · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 11:46 AM »

I have fished it several times in the winter.... Again fishing was terrible. Not a big fan of Vivian.

Caught this Rainbow at a lake in the northern Cariboo last week.

It was slushy and my feet did get wet.
My own fault....I should have worn my lined-gumboots.
