Lake is wide open and fishing has been fair. Better if you can catch a day with less white caps, which has been hard the last couple weeks.

Fishing has been slow to fair. Catching a good amount of the small stockers that where put in this spring but big fish have been slow from shore, better from a boat. Lake is extremely full so bank fishing can be hard. Bait: worms of bottom, power bait (rainbow, green) Flies: big streamers, Bite-me-buggers, hot heads, eggs Luers: Dardevil (red/white, gold), rapals (brown trout, pearch)
Fishing is slow. Either a long day or big fish. Flies: streamers, leeches, chironomids, amphipods Lures: Rapalas (fire tiger, rainbow trout, or brown trout); rooster tails (fire tiger and rainbow trout); mepps (bright and flashy colors) Bait: night crawlers
Lake is 98% open and boat ramp was clear of ice this morning (but not free of 3′ white caps). Only ice I saw was on dam at the north end and shoreline.
Lake is ~80+% open water. Ice is from about 100 yards west of the boat ramp to the dam so no boats of size yet. Fishing should pick up as the ice comes off.
Fishing is fair. Ice is 8″-14″ on most of the lake with some open spots due to wind east of the “houses” in the bay and on the west end. Green & red jigs with meal worms, red power bait, spawn sacks.
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. Hattie Derby is Jan 4th & 5th and tickets are available at the store now. $35 for adult, $5 for youth(under 14)
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.
Fishing is Slow to Fair Flies: Wooly buggers (olive, brown), Hornburgs, scuds, adams Lures: Rapalas (Brown Trout, Fire Tiger), Kastmaster (Green, Blue) Bait: Worms, Power Bait (Chartruese, RWB)
