Three of us fished the south and east sides last Saturday. We were on foot. But we saw a few snowmobiles getting around just fine. We had one 50 ft. section of deep snow as we were hiking to the east side. One in our group used snowshoes for the hike back.
The ice was thick. Needed our auger extensions. Fishing was fair. I wouldn't call it excellent. We half-heartedly tried for some perch and it wasn't the usual frenzy for us. But, we didn't poke around too much to find a good hot spot right at the weed line. Nor did we spend too much time fishing for perch - maybe an hour.
Trout fishing was ok on the east side. Not as hot as I've seen it in the past. We did manage like 6 species between 3 of us: perch, tiger, splake, rainbow, kokanee, and chub. My tigers were my biggest...maybe 16-17 inches.
Good luck and have a great day fishing! Off to the Berry for us.
