Moose Creek Res. Report!

[chrome_junky]

well i was planning on taking my friend who has never ice fished to Cascade on Tuesday to go and try my luck at some perch but Monday night while i was getting my stuff ready to go both my kids were begging me to go with and i can not tell them no they cant go with me. so i decided that driving 2 hours and 45 minutes to fish with my kids was not a very good idea. so opted for somewhere closer. we ended up getting to moose creek around 10:00 am. checked the ice to make sure it was safe and geared up and headed on to the hard deck. punched 2 holes and started fishing. All i can say is i have had my feel of planter trout for the whole season in just two trips. It was ridiculous every time we dropped anything down the hole they were all over it. paddle bugs, crappie jigs, ice flys i mean anything! we ended up landing over 50 trout in 3 hours. we moved all over the lake looking for crappie and blue gill and could not find them. only trout. all the trout with the exception of a couple were healthy and fat it was actually surprising how good the little dinks looked bright colors and thick bellies.
well my kids got sick of the trout so we packed it up headed to the helmer cafe for what ended up being hands down the best hamburger i have ever eaten and it was huge!!!!! i have heard rumors for two years now about how good that places food was. well now i can tell you if you are driving through helmer do not pass up the helmer cafe it will nock your socks off. enjoy the pics guys.
