Several fishermen said they had good luck last week at the West End, but the snow has made the road impassable. Fishermen with fish finders reported fish swimming by, but not biting. I had trouble keeping bait on my jigs because the minnows would strip it off.
Not good at all.
Just a lot of standing around in freezing rain. But the ice is over 2 feet thick. Better luck next time.

Looks to me like a fish hut with a wood stove would have come in handy. Freezing rain doesn't sound like much fun. I haven't been ice fishing in a few years. We usually wait until March to go when the sun has come back and it's warm. I don't like to get cold. I may rent a ice hut sometime this winter if we can fit it in to our schedule. Do you ever set lines? We set burbot lines a few years ago, but never caught anything. We should try again. Happy fishing!
I recently watched a Chinese documentary on fishing at the very very cold north, the way you do.
Do you ever eat raw fish, similar to Japanese sashimi, but cut into slivers straight from the freezer? It's like a fishy ice cream.
