me and my father in law will be there on saturday. it looks like in malad it was supposed to be an average of 30 degrees this week. so i think the ice should be good. look for us we will be in a blue ice hut. come say hi if you make it.

ice was 5 inches of solid ice. the fishin action was great for us. i caught 8 one being 20'' and many 19.5 and 18's. i lost a few at the hole and lots of missed bites. i did talk to a group that was there about the same that we were and only caught a couple. so it could be hit of miss. it was a good day. i forgot my camera at home so no pictures. next time i wont forget it.

You can only keep the ones 20" and over right? And Artificial/barbless?

Re: [fishinfool03] Daniels? - flygoddess - 12-21-2010
Thanks. That has got to make it tougher than most hard water. That and the one pole only. Does make me think maybe one of my flies might work.......LOL

Re: [flygoddess] Daniels? - fishinfool03 - 12-21-2010
thats all i use there are my flies. i seem to catch a lot more than with jigs. the one pole does suck, but its a small price to pay, cant you get a 2 pole permit or is it lake specific on that rule?

Re: [fishinfool03] Daniels? - flygoddess - 12-21-2010
You know, It reads ONE ICE POLE, but I have a two pole permit that I used this year on the soft water.
It reads this:
No bait, barbless hooks,
One line only when ice fishing.
Trout 2 None under 20”
But does that mean per permit?

I have tied "chironomid jigs" that I use there that have been quite successful in the past. The fish will actually take them just sitting there without any movement.
Not sure about the 2 pole license working for ice fishing.

I would interpret that as one pole only when ice fishing...even if you have a two pole permit.....just my opinion though. Since I have been checked there 50% of the time, I will ask the officer if he shows up tomorrow. I will repost if I get any info.

Re: [Euge136] Daniels? - flygoddess - 12-22-2010
That would be awesome. I have always wondered.

You are correct.[
]Looked it up in the Idaho fishing seasons and rules book page 53. "Daniels Reservoir, No bait, barbless hooks. One line only when ice fishingNone under 20"."
Hope the clarifies the subject. Flygoddess, are you going to try ice fishing? On a Lake? Is this the seventh sign?[:p]

Re: [toadly] Daniels? - flygoddess - 12-22-2010
Ya know, I think about it. I do killer with my deep nymphing on open water, I don't see this style as much different other than could be hard on a fly line if the run...LOL
But you know, I have the two pole permit and have used it for several years at Daniels on the open water. Been check many times for my license AND a peek at my hooks to make sure no barb.
I can't find anything that says this is acceptable either, (to use to poles)
So I take it, with that piece of paper...one rod/pole. In other words, you have a license, you can use one pole/rod...then there is a permit (or another license) for another pole/rod.
I would say it is legal.
I know most lakes you are allowed to use multi ice fishing poles, Daniels is just saying ONE pole per permit maybe????
I would like to hear it from the horses mouth though, wouldn't you all?

Re: [flygoddess] Daniels? - toadly - 12-22-2010
I too have a two pole permit. At Daniels though there is a fish cop that checks it Very Often. He watches from way back with a spotting scope. I am certin of what I wrote and there is no other interpitation as far as mister fish cop is concerned. Besides the action is than fast enough with one pole.[
]Bring your flys and a few split shot. See ya there!
