dont know about here,but on lake walcott in Idaho,we fished the Ice a lot,If you know of an underwater spring,good spot.We used nightcrawlers filled with air, got to the bottom and have the worm on a 18 inch leader with a slip sinker.Please be careful I fell through once,thank god it was only up to my waist,there were several guys fishing out there when it happened.they got a kick out of it.
