Hit Hog Canyon today with my boy. Fishing conditions were rough due to the sub 20 degree weather topped off with high winds. Talked to a number of people on the ice. No one had had a bite so I guess I was fortunate to ice a coupe of 3 inch perch. In all my years of ice fishing this lake I have never done so badly or caught something other than trout. There were a lot of perch down there this year sitting on the bottom. I saw only two last season with my under water camera. I am a bit concerned about the future of this winter fishery as well as Fish trap down stream. I am starting to wonder if the winter trout lakes were stocked very well for this winter seasons. The fish are bigger but seem very scarce. Over all I accomplished my goal of spending some outdoor time with my boy so the the day was not a waste of time.
