Trip Report
We ice fished on a lake where we have been previously but not this year. Five fish were caught, Josh catching two of them. They were small yellow perch caught on tip-ups in 30 feet of water. Two others were caught on a jig rod in 11 feet of water. The ice was 12 to 14 inches thick and abnormally smooth for this time of year.
