Me and my dad fished Echo today from 8:00am till 10:30am caught loads of perch and my dad caught a 14 inch rainbow about 50 yards from the boat ramp area we were using ice flies tipped with powerbait or salmon eggs under a sweedish pimple the ice was almost a foot thick about 5-8 inches of clear ice the edges weren't too bad just needed to take one large step. After a while at Echo we decided to check out East Canyon, We Fished East Canyon from 11:30am till 1:30pm in the south arm by the inlet talked to some guys by the east shore that said they had been there since 7:30am and had only caught two each so we went a little deeper and my dad got one bite in a 20 minute period so we went on over to the west side of the south arm near a guy that said he had caught 8 so far and my dad caught a 15 inch rainbow and I got a bite but that was it we were using the same bait as at echo the ice was about 6-8 inches 2-4inches of clear ice the edges weren't bad up by the dam and state park there were a few large holes and big cracks but there was one guy fishing by the state park and a lot of people fishing near the dam.Well I think thats all[
