Thanks people. My successful experience trolling has been at Pali
es on the day of ice out in which the fishing was very good. It was good before ice out - fishing from the Indian Creek end during the period of recession but the ice out day was memorable.
I don't remember that type of action during American Falls ice out - at least not from the trolling aspect. It does seem like trolling there picks up in late April and May but my memory is a bit cloudy there. I think fate delivered ice out at A.F. the last couple days so us weekend warriors missed it.... It would have been a bit dangerous in a boat anyway with the winds that we had. Well, there may still be ice in the bays and hopefully that will keep the turnover suppressed for the weekend....
I hit Chesterfield last year as the ice receded and got skunked.
