Island Park Res. - Icefishing - windriver - 12-06-2004
Just moving Bill's post so more people can see it.
[size 1]I ice fished Island Park Reservoir on Saturday and caught five fish with the largest a 21 inch rainbow. All were rainbows. Several people walked out and visited me about kokanee, but I did not get into any.
The ice near the dam is 3 to 4 inches thick with more freezing nightly. Saturday night it dropped to -2 degrees which will make the ice deeper quick. Be very careful as there were still a patch of open water just above the dam. The reservoir froze over on Thanksgiving weekend.
Good luck,
Bill [/size]

Bill,
What were you using and how were you fishing it? Thanks for the info. Everet

I was fishing near the dam about 15 feet down with a chartruese ice fly tipped with a meal worm. In Idaho we can set out five lines, so I usually set out three set lines with jigs with different bait on them and at depths from 8 to 20 feet and then two jig rods with jigs tipped with mealworms.
I am planning on hitting Island Park again on Saturday. I will keep you posted.
Bill
