Went out to Hog Canyon for my first ice fishing experience in my life. Fishing was slow, 5 bites over 4 hours, lost 1 landed 1. A nice 14" Saw about 6 fish caught total, a couple were real nice fish. Ice was atleast 4" thich over 3/4 of the lake, but there is still open water at the opposite end from the parking lot. There was about 30 other people out on the ice, Lots of kids playing and having fun.
I used a Powerbait egg with a couple Pink Maggots.
It wasn't on fire but it was enough to get me hooked on ice fishing.

I fished Hog for several years while I was in WA. The big rainbows were lots of fun on ultralight jigging rods! IMO, it fishes best in the early morning, from 8:00 until 9:30 or so. Avoid deep water, as most feeding fish are in shallow water. Keep it simple and small. Tear drop jigs and small Swedish Pimples with a fireball salmon eggs or two will slay em when the bite is on. This bite can turn on and stop at a moments notice. If you're lucky it will last an hour, if unlucky just 15-30 minutes!
