I also had a good time up there the last week of the season. We caught and released tons of fish. The biggest hybrid that I caught was 23" I also caught a 24" cutt. The average fish was right around 20." I glad that we have the opportunity to ice fish the lake for a week, but I am also glad that it is not open any longer because I think that over the course of a winter the fishery would be affected by the thousands of people who would make the journey for a fish like the ones in the picture. People were getting a little combative as far as crowding into the small holes as it is. The Friday after Thanksgiving I had to move to some new holes because people were drilling too close to me on very thin ice. Anyway I am not griping I take advantage of the opportunity as much as the next person, just saying I think for the lake it is best if it remains the way it is.
