Winter Lake Trout Season Opener, Lottery applications due
Went fishing on Burntside Lake for Lake Trout Sunday morning. We were fishing in 30-45 feet of water, using jigs and treble hooks w/small spinner and minnow. Lakers take patience. We did not get a bite.
Ice and snow
Ice was 14-18 inches thick, but we stayed on ice roads where everyone else had driven. Still need to be careful. There was 4-6 inches of snow on the ground. Not enough to snowmobile, but plenty for cross-country skiing on the lakes and dog sledding.
Watch for wildlife
