Had a bad case of cabin fever for some time so I took a buddy from work with me to Upper Goose lake,but the launch was iced in still(Probably be a week till its clear)So we headed up to the big reservoir to do some jigging for walleye.The Linde Coulee end of the lake and the launch at blythe point were iced up,so we forked out 7 bucks to launch at Mardon.Water was 34 degrees, Burrr! We jigged silver blade jigs in 30-50 ft of water all around Goose island and over some humps outside of Crab creek.We even tried still fishing for trout with powerbait for an hour or two.Nodda.Talked to one boat with 4 guys in it that jigged up 2 Walleye all day.Still felt good to be out in the boat even though we didnt catch squat.Watch out for floating ice chunks.

Any day out on the water is better than not being there!!!!!!! There are two types of people, those who like to fish and those who fish. Nice report I was thinking about heading there but will wait and continue fishing Roosevelt for a few weeks as I am having good luck there.

Wow, its so great to hear from someone that went to the potholes. Taking my girl there on the 26th of this month to fish a few days and then hit Martha lake on opening day. I have been looking every day hoping to find some reports on potholes or moses lake. hope the ice chunks are gone by then. Any fish on will do!!!! Thanks for the report. Will send one also after our trip.
