At 34 acres Gelatt is the smallest of the main Plains Lakes. Grayling where stocked int the lake a couple years back and we are seeing some good size to them as well as the trout. The easiest access to the Plains Lakes is 8.5 miles from the Fly Store down Highway 230 at Pahlow Lane. Please be mindful of your speeds on the access roads to the lakes.

Gelatt has ice on about 85% of the lake but was open from the aerator south all the way to the boat ramp. About 35 yards of shoreline are fishable around the boat ramp/ parking area. There is also a small open section starting on the north shore.

The fishing is Good. Lots of small fish to catch with a good chance of a big cutthroat. Ice: 0-10", thin or open near aerators. Wax worms or Nightcrawlers on pink or orange.

1"-5.5" of ice. The lake had about 5" of ice off the boat ramp to at least 20 yards out. Past that ice looked newer and didn't venture out. Open water in the middle from the aerator to the east for about 70 yards and a small open area on the south shore halfway from the boat ramp to the other parking area. No fisherman out around noon.

Gelatt was about 95% covered with a small section open on the west end. Ice is very choppy on both the east and west ends of the lake. The open section wasn't promising with the current winds but hope it holds and starts building. No one out on it yet and no evidence of anyone gutsy enough to test yet.
