Went out to silver for a few hours yesterday (01-13).   Snow cover was gone, about a half inch of water on top with 3-4 inches of good clear ice. A couple holes in the ice by the cracks.    Found little fish.    In 16 f.o.w. no big ones yet

With recent weather, ice is probably melting to an unsafe thickness

Last weekend Jan 31st, Hog Canyon was ice free the 1st 3 feet around perimeter of lake, but the rest of the lake had 3-4" making it unfishable.  Dumbed the boat in Rock and it was non stop 12-14" planted steelhead.  We where using full sinking fly lines 8" leader using woolly's and egg sucking leaches.

Also trolled with cowbells and wedding ring caught 2 browns mid lake

Hog Canyon has always been like that in milder winter years - I assume it is because the rocks heat up from the sun and melt the ice away from the shore.  There is usually a "footbridge" of some sort scabbed together to get people out on the ice though - or used to be.

That Rock Lake fishery is pretty cool right now. Be interesting to see how long it lasts. My son and I went both days this weekend and caught easy limits. I fly fished one day and had a blast. White wooly  bugger seemed to work as good as anything in the stream below the bridge.  A red devil spoon was the bomb for my son. The guys in boats seemed to be doing well but don't know what they were fishing.
