I figured after 3 or 4 very cold nites that the edges would re-freeze, and it looked like good edges all around RP this morning..I chose the farthest West side entry area..a bit too rocky for ingress/egress, but doable..my sled already has holes, so no worries..little shallower than I'd wanted, but some marks on bottom right away, and BINGO, decent action and good average sized perch all morning, til I had enough at noon..wind direction changed, snow starting about when I got back to truck, and snow most of the way back to SLC..some kept ave 81/2", but most culled and kept were 9 to 93/4", just really nice fish..bite still hot at noon, hard to quit..sometimes used 2 poles..1 with donor eyeball on small wonderbread white jig, 2nd rod with small cut perch belly meat, also on small white jig with home-painted wonderbread dots..both very effective, but cut perch meat generally catches my bigger perch..Guluk...hope the edges hold up for awhile..be safe, use your ice prod at edges..
