Lake Five a lot of kokannee coming out of there with guys limiting out. Hubbard Reservoir getting some good reports with 10 inches of ice picking up some smaller rainbows and kokannee. Upper and Lower Thompson, there’s been some good reports on perch especially from Upper with a few pike on Lower Thompson.

Shelby from Rocky Mountain Supply in Dillon
Shelby says there’s ice fishing going on in the area. The Ice on Clark Canyon is over 10 inches, but there’s not been a lot of reports of success. Most are fishing on the South end because it’s easier to access because the lake is dry. The South end of the island has been doing the best. Folks been trying anything, but there really hasn’t been any success stories just yet. The Dog Days of Winter 2nd Annual Coyote Derby comes up January 10, -12th.
