Noobie questions: Echo and Causey

[ofishal_chris]

Hi everyone!
I'm taking my dad and brother out Saturday. This is my first season ice fishing, and neither of them have ever been. So I have some noobie questions:
Is perch fishing at echo better by the dam or the boat launch? If it is better by the dam, where's the best place to access it with the least amount of walking?

Also, has anyone heard any good reports for fishing or ice conditions for Causey reservoir? (It'd be fun to catch a koke!)

Any pointers would be appreciated!
