Fishing has been Fair
Ice is between 3″-9″ with the thicker being where wind has pushed sheets on top of each other.
some nice perch coming out this week.
Pink and green jigs seem to be the trick tipping with wax worms.

Lake was capped for as far as I could see from the dam area. Ice didn’t look anywhere near good enough for me to venture on.As always conditions can change quick so use best judgment and be safe.
Lake look to be all open.Fishing was fair. Better in the morning. Big waves this afternoon. Couple kokanee today for people.Flies: hotheads, snow cones, egg patternsBait: egg sacks, powerbait (peach, red)
Some pics of the outflow area
Lake is completely open as far as we could see, from east end by dam there was no ice at all.Fishing has been slow to far but if you are looking for some open water this weekend this is the best bet.
