Title: Need Icefishing Help; Fish Lake, Chelan Co.
Post by: ICEMAN on December 27, 2009, 05:58:58 AM: I have been snowshoeing around the Fish Lake area for years, and I am itching to take in some Ice Fishing on the lake.

Anyone experienced with Fish Lake, Chelan County?

I would use just 1 split Shot (Small) Real light line, and 1 Small piece of Worm...fire balls (Red eggs) worked real well. I would run it all the way to the bottom and then reel up!! (Slow) about every 2' I would give it alittle Jig. It works! I would have a Fish on, before I would reach the top. Out fished Pop's that way alot...Good luck and be safe on that ice

Huge perch in there if you use the right thing.......Trout fishing has went down hill since the Russians started raping the lake.....but still some good ones to catch!

All around though it is a blast to ice fish on!!!

PM me and I will get ya going maybe even meet up for a day of filling buckets!!
