Safe ice from Buckboard north, with good rainbow fishing using small spoons and powerbait, and spotty lake trout fishing. Shore fishing for rainbows very good in Sheep Creek Bay. Try a nightcrawler and marshmallow combination. A good winter technique for lake trout is bouncing white maribou or tube jigs tipped with sucker meat right on the bottom. Fish are distributed in slow water areas, and fishing has been good with light pressure.
Midges continue to provide afternoon surface action.
Try Griffith's Gnat and simple or mating midge patterns, 18-24. Reports of good fishing after access by snowmobile. Few anglers using water. Old reports of good fishing for rainbows and browns. Trout were being taken from shore and boats.
