Got the boat in at Ririe yesterday. Nice to be back on some soft water. Surface temperature is a chilly 39 degrees. The big bay at Juniper is completely ice free. I tried to make it all the way to Meadow creek but ran into ice two corners into the canyon. It was very thin and rotten and should be gone in a matter of days. We trolled along the ice and found the Kokanee right away. Hooked a few fish and then found a dock in a cove and jigged up a few nice cutts. We did troll around the dam also with no success. Had to give up a 3 p.m. as the wind blew us off the lake. Kind of weird, we were the only ones on the lake. Good luck if you head up.
