I saw about 10 folks fishing. Looks like you have to push the 200 yard limit to get close to the depth you need to find fish.

Did anyone do any good out there? How deep were you able to fish? Inquiring minds want to know. Thx.

Spent about 4hrs out at the nampa dam. Moved around a few times. It was pretty slow. 2 adults 1 kid. 2 small cats & 1 little perch. Nice day to get out.

I thought Lake Lowell was closed?? Did I miss a sudden outbreak of Sanity by the feds?

It is open for ice fishing!

Which side is the most productive in your opinion? West side or East side? Much appreciated.

I'm fishing the Caldwell side in the morning. I did pretty well there last year. Never fished the Nampa side

Fished both dams today. Caught 10 dinks on the Caldwell side in 4 hrs of fishing. Caught 10 dinks and 5 keepers on the Nampa side in a lil over 2 hrs this evening. All were caught on a small jiggin rap. Even caught an 8" gil. Water was a lot cleaner on the Nampa side.

Bigggcountry · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 16, 2013, 09:39 PM »

The 5 that I kept were 10-11". The rest were dinks.

TightLine21 · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 16, 2013, 11:14 PM »

I fished the Nampa side this weekend for about 5 hours. Mainly dinks with a few keepers, nothing with any size. It is nothing like last year!

Nice J T M. Nice bass. What side did you fish on? How deep?

which dam did you fish out of

J_T_M · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 22, 2013, 10:21 PM »

I was on the Nampa side west ramp, I was just out from the pillar at 18-5 to 19 feet. Lot's of Googans out but not to many ice fishers.

fishnfred · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 23, 2013, 09:18 AM »

Fished yesterday 300 yards east of the pillar at the west ramp on the Nampa side. Ice was still a strong 8 inches. Started a bit slow in the mid morning but came on around 2pm. 35+ perch with 10 keepers over 10inch, 2 large mouth, and one Gill. No size to the bass but the gill was nice. found fish in 25 ft of water. Bite was a bit finicky though, had to wait on the good takes. 3 other ice fisherman at west ramp. Enjoy!

Hamstn · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 23, 2013, 09:20 AM »

Upper Dam east side Saturday. Lots of dinks to keep busy. Highlight was a bass, blue gill, and a pleasant day.

Bigggcountry · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 23, 2013, 10:17 PM »

I'm hoping there is still some ice to float on in the morning.

terri · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 24, 2013, 07:12 AM »

John good Catch on that bass. I was going to go out last Sat but ended up sick. You did Perry good. I need to get out again soon. Good luck at CJ. I will be looking for your update.

J_T_M · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 24, 2013, 06:52 PM »

Thanks Sam,
I look forward to fishing with you again this year, I know what you mean about the sickness going around been trying to shake it off for 3 weeks.

Bigggcountry · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 24, 2013, 07:45 PM »

Fished Lake Lowell for a couple hours this afternoon. Found a decent number of crappies and bluegills. Nothing huge but would have made a good meal. I was just out for fun so they got lucky today. Next trip, maybe not...

ID fisher · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 26, 2013, 12:59 AM »

How thick is the ice at Lowell was thinking of trying it tomorrow! Thanks!

Bigggcountry · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 26, 2013, 06:52 AM »

Between 5-7 inches

negativecold · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 26, 2013, 06:41 PM »
