Finally got back out on to Echo again. This time from the main state park. My daughter in law went with me. Arrived at 7, a little snow on the ramp and parking lot made for easy access. About 5 ft soft edge, but used the sled as a bridge, did not get wet.
Walked out quite a ways south, trying 2 areas, but only caught a couple of small perch. Relocated again about 200 yards south and found the nicer perch. We took home 44, a few small bait ones, but mostly 9.5 to 11 inches. Most caught on chub, the bigger fish wanted it over perch eyes. Also 3 nice trout, 18.5 was the biggest.
Bite really slowed at 11, and by 12 we were packing up. Getting off was the same, used the sled as a bridge, did not get wet.
