New Henry's update

[peacefisher1]

I go on the BLM land just past Staleys, where you can drive down the dirt road to the lake. That's my favorite spot. And where I stepped through the ice. Peacefisher, I have never fished by the dam because I have drove my boat down there several times and can never find any fish on the fishfinder. I mean zero. I always wondered why but because of that I never even think about ice fishing there. You have got me thinking.

I have never seriously fished the outlet portion of the lake in the summer time. My in-laws own a cabin about a quarter mile above the dam, otherwise access is very limited in the winter. With the ice unsafe on the main lake, we decided to try out in front of their cabin. I wasn’t expecting the fishing to be any good, but have been pleasantly surprised over the last few trips. There’s lots of giant weed beds in this section of the lake. I have found some channels between the weeds in 7-9 feet of water and have caught quite a few fish on little ice jigs and white paddle tails tipped with mealworm.
