CURRENT CONDITIONS: A week of wind driven days has driven the ice to near extinction for the season. The lake appears to be about 15% ice covered from Duck and Deer Islands to the Damn. No news on any opening date for boating. In general it has been pure April. Cold, Windy, Snowy, Sunny, Warm for a minute and all things in between. Almost all shoreline areas are free of any ice. The water temp is in the 30’s. Add a slight breeze and clouds and you best dress for Winter because it will feel like it.. Snow in the forecast for today.
FISHING/HUNTING LICENSE: Contrary to early Corona rumors and social media mania no hunting or fishing regulations or seasons have been suspended. Your essential fishing addiction still requires a legally mandated essential license in your possession. All annual CPW licenses expired on MARCH 31.. We are a CPW licensed dealer for all hunting and fishing licensees. Don’t think for one minute you can use the current situation as an excuse to not have a license. Plus they need the money for the fish. CPW budget is primarily fee supported.. We do and are currently selling all CPW licenses. You can purchase online and we can print it out. We do not sell any State Park Passes or boating registrations. The Park office remains closed. If you don’t have a Park Pass bring $9.00 in cash for self service pass.

PIC # 1: No words needed
PIC # 2: This trio have been hanging out together since they arrived They have been inseparable. Sounds like a possible Disney story. The Adopted Snow Goose.
PIC # 3: This Cutthroat was caught and released once before by a Northern. Two red scars on either side indicative of a very close call. If you have fished here long enough you have surely caught a fish with major bleeding gashes from a close call with death.

TROUT:: FAIR TO GOOD: Shore action was great as the ice receded. and weather warmed. With the ice gone and temperatures dropping to the likes of single digits in the morning action has slowed up a bit. Gone are the hatches that were happening and turning on the Trout. They start again as soon as it warms up but that has not happened of late with highs in the 30’s. Egg sacks and a variety of baits like Garlic Power bait or night crawler and mallow have done well. Jigs have slowed up a bit. Kastmasters work well. Flies like egg patterns, crawfish, scuds and Woollies are working.too.
KOKANEE SALMON: NO REPORT
NORTHERN PIKE: NO REPORT Try Chartreuse Power Bait
