There were a bunch of shore fishermen and a few more boats joined later. Trolled standard kokanee blades and squid. Started off a little slow, but when I found the spot they turned on. Ended at 11:30 with 21 rainbows to the boat - all were returned for another day. It was beautiful weather. The ramp was ice free and there was open water almost to rainbow bay. I knew that the weather was going to turn cold for the weekend so got in my shot to get out.
We also fished D>C> on Fri. We got on the water about 9 am and it was non stop reeling till about 10:30 then things slowed down a bit. Took me an hr before I was able to get my 2nd rod in the water.
The slowest catching for us was along the ice cap edges. I was a bit surprised at this.
Most of the fish we caught I would put at about 1/2 to 3/4 lb.
Was good to get the boat out and be on the water. I'm not that big on ice fishing anymore.
