​The ice is finally starting to melt! Put you ice buckets away and get your nets out!

Flathead Lake
Fishing well for Lake Trout. The docks are in at West Short State Park, Sommers Bay and Wayfarers State Park. Fishing the delta is turning out good numbers of big Lake Trout and some Pike. Fish with whole dead fish on bottom: 15’-30’ water. Also cast large spoons or jigs. They are still catching some Lake Whitefish using Pete’s Whitefish Slayers as well.

​South End

Getting reports that East Bay is picking up for Perch. Try 1-1/2’-3’ water with small jigs and Pete’s Crappie Candy tipped with worms.

Rocky Point, Yellow Bay Point and The Narrows are all jigging well for the Lake Trout.

West Short State Park to Painted Rocks is still doing well trolling 150’-180’ with Flat Fish.

What a great thing to wake up to on April 1st this year. Two birds touched down in our nest. They felt right at home and were soon nestled down and enjoying their perch. Feels great to have birds in the nest starting our 2018 season!
