My brother Patrick and I went up to Lake Cascade over the last weekend and joined BFTers DUBob, WyoGuy, his nephew Rowdy Dean and the K2 duo. Ice conditions were a little slushy on Friday but improved as the slush hardened as the temps dropped a little. Conditions allowed the use of my Can-Am ATV and the others used their snowmobiles. Other fishermen on the lake were using a mix of sleds and ATVs.
We fished out of the Poison Creek access and found the best fishing in water around 30 feet deep. Normal perch jigs and bait produced decent results. Fishing started slow on Friday and gradually improved over the weekend. Patrick and I had to come home on Sunday and we left at noon after a very productive morning. The last photo shows the perch we caught on Sunday morning. My best ever perch came last Friday afternoon. It was 15.25 inches long and it weighed 2.16 pounds on my brother's scale.
I hope to make another trip this winter for the Tackle Tom's tourney in mid February.
