My son and I fished Rexburg last night and the action was fast and furious for trout and perch. Jigging two or three times and then dead poling it seemed to work the best with a variety of colors with worms or mealys. The ice is not safe in a few locations, as I went through; that is what is nice about Rexburg, 4ft deep. I wish Windriver had less tournaments to go to; he usually checks the ice first at this place.[
] I did find some safe ice 2.5 inches and a good route to go on. The ice will thicken in the next couple of days. If you take a little one put on a life jacket on them. There were several children's foot prints and bike tracks on the ice; if parents knew how thin it was they would think twice. Please test the ice, and just don't go by my word that it is OK to fish.
