Got a bright and early start to the new year, was on the ice at 730 fished jigs and crawlers ended up with 17 trout and a bunch of small perch. the bite slowed way down around 11 switched to trout nibbles and kept a few interested. sure was cold almost had to fire up the heater to keep the pop unfrozen 
. ice was 7 to 8 inches and there were snowmobiles and 4 wheelers out on the ice. had a blast but some of those 3 inch perch sure hate jawjackers
Thanks for the report and pics. Nice fat fish!

nice. thanks for report.
Looks like a great day!
You guys are very welcome [:)] and they all seemed to be very healthy just need to figure out how to keep those tiny perch off
Bigger hooks[;)][fishin]
lol tried that the darn things just eat around them
If you want to keep something off your hook just target them [:)]
lol aint that the truth [:P]
Went out this morning and I have the exact same report. Some of the trout were 20 inches. Good Times. Anybody catching anything at Walcott?
I heard it was slow today guys fishing next to me today said they fished all day and caught one by the powerhouse. Almost thought about going up there tomorrow but i think maybe magic as fishing was super slow today at Oakley [frown]
We were using all the usual baits, but worms were the ticket. My biggest came on a copper pimple with a piece of worm jigged slow.
Made it over there again today lots of people sleds 4 wheelers running around enough to almost worry about your poles getting ran over [:(] fishing was great from 7 to 10 then kinda died off to just the occasional fish. did catch my first brown threw the ice tho 
and just as i was leaving a whole flock of quail ran across the road in front of me by the lodge must been 50. caught most today on tubes and minnow jigs
Those are some nice fat lookin fish. Sounds like the words out on magic!
Those bad boys are almost too fat to swim!
They were fat but they sure fought good and yup there was plenty of people Im thinking need to take the 4 wheeler and check out some different areas of magic
Those are fat fish. I still have not caught a brown there. I too need to check out some new areas.

I was there too on saturday by myself. I have never been there before and I’ve never fished with so many people around me. I caught 9 trout nothing big 12 to 16inch. All on different jigs but they had to be tipped with a worm. Anything tipped with a mean worm caught nothing even with the perch. I’m new to ice fishing so I don’t know if that helps anyone. It seemed a little jigging helped catch more trout and the bigger perch. I went up there to catch perch and was a little disapponted at the size. I brought home 6 that were around 8 inch. I caught a lot in the 3 to 4 inch range. I was fishing in 8feet of water 100 yards off what I think is the boat dock. I would tell you what to use but for me anything worked just had to have a worm. The fishing died even with the perch around 3 for me. However, just before dark I did catch 2 more trout.
Thats my second brown i caught one this summer trolling Im thinking if a guy went up around that bend you were at the water gets much deeper.
That was kinda my findings too as long as it had worm it caught fish. I didnt have very many perch tho this time and that was kind of a plus as last time there was tons of tiny perch
