Chancy from Snappy’s
Chancy at Snappy’s says the ice fishing is on. Lake Mary Ronan’s got about 5 inches of ice and reports on perch, but discourages snowmobiles use just yet. Lake 5 is doing well using the new access catching kokannee, perch, and rainbows. Blanchard Lake 4-5 inches of ice on it, croppy at night and the occasional pike and perch during the day. Hubbard has a lot of nice ice on it, lots of rainbows and kokannee, upper Thomson 3-4 inches kicking up quite a few smaller perch and pike, Rodgers Lake fishing pretty good for grayling and cut throat down. McWinneger Slough just part Snappy’s to the East few out night fishing for crappie, perch and pike, Bitterroot sounds like its still pretty well open, McGregor during the week’s been wide open, The Middle Thomson had a few reports come in last week on perch for those walking.
