I’ve been on Twin Lakes and Glendale and the both had 4 or 5" of ice. At Twin the shallow side was slow and tiny Blue gill. I got my first Lg. Mouth on the ice. And some Rainbow. And today at Glendale just perch. ---

It’s good to hear Glendale has good ice. I’m planning on taking a couple of grandsons out tomorrow and was going to go to Montpelier but Glendale is a lot closer. Thanks for the report. ---

My first one was the biggest, nearly 10" but mostly about 8" or smaller. I kept 10 and have plenty for a perch fry. ---

Maybe someone else could help with that question as this was my first trip to Glendale. I was told there is Bass, perch, crappie with sometimes big perch. And I caught a rainbow so I know there is trout also. I’m in Blackfoot and this and my trip to Twin Lakes are my first times in the area. And I want to fish all the small lakes. Condie is next on my list. I have property in Arizona near Lake Mead and go there for the winter. But this year I’m staying home to ice fish. It’s been 5 years since I was in the ice. ---

I live in Preston and fish those lakes 2 to 3 times a week. I caught 100s of crappie at Glendale this fall but I have a harder time finding them during the ice fishing season. most of those lakes have just about everything in them.
