I made it to Fish Lake for my first time ever and had a great day of ice fishing. It was quite a long drive but well worth it. I pulled off at the first parking place and went out into about 30 feet of water. I caught all the perch I wanted and also caught splake and rainbows. All my fish came on an orange glow rat finkee tipped w/wax worms. I had the rat finkee as a dropper from a bigger jig tipped w/perch meat but only caught one fish on the larger jig. The fishing slowed a little for me so I decided to walk to the other side of the lake and see how the fishing was. The distance was deceptive and I was pretty tired once I got to the other side. The bad part was I didn't have any luck at all. Should have just stayed where I was. At least I got a good work out. I don't have a fishfinder so I had no idea what depth to be fishing at on the other side of the lake. Where I first started I caught all my fish on the bottom. Anyway, it was a great day of fishing and I hope to make it down there again.
