Ice Fishing Buddies List

Post by Kfedka » Mon Dec 19, 2011 10:54 am

Here is an idea, there is a fishing buddies list for open boat. How about we make one for Ice Fishing.

Here is the one for open boat.
http://www.washingtonlakes.com/forum/vi ... f=2&t=7541" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Making something similar that would state what lakes you fish and the fish that is targeted.

I'm in the Spokane area and target Panfish(Perch, Bluegill, Crappie), on occasion Trout, Fish up to a 60 miles radius of Spokane(including Idaho).

this is a great idea........

i normally fish on the snoqualmie pass area fishing at lost lake or the two lakes close by but i have traveled to fish lake for some perch action at least 3 times a year. for me its all about just enjoying the hard water. i fish for trout, salmon, perch, and would love to try for musky this year.

anyone on the west side?

Second that. But as many of you know, it's Eloika or Silver primarily for me. I would meet up to chat, or show newbies the ropes a bit...

I guess I'll toss my name in the hat. Last year was my first year on the ice. I'm a newb when it comes to ice fishing, but I'm hardy and have an ice auger. I come with a sense of humor and a relaxed demeanor.

Lakes: Silver lake, Hog Canyon, 4th of July, Eloika lake

Species: Panfish, trout, and bass

I'm always scouting for new lakes and ponds around here that can be fished during the winter. Due to work schedule, I will normally only be able to fish on weekends, but drop me a line anyway.

I'm from Everett, Ice fishing is one of my favorite type of fishing. So far I've only been at Fish lake cause its the closest. I'm looking for good ice-fishing lakes in central Washington that are not as far as Spokane from me. If any one knows any good ice-fishing lakes please let me know

Hey! I'm in Wenatchee and will fish for pretty much anything through the ice. I'll travel up to an hour and a half or so.. I am pretty busy with waterfowl hunting to the end of January but after that on the weekends I will be out on the ice constantly! PM me if you'd like to go!

After the the ice becomes solid enough, I like to fish Eloika and Waitts. Used to go to Sprague Lake but since I live way north of Spokane now, I primarily fish these lakes up here. i would like to hear more from folks who have some inside info on the crappies at some of these lakes north of Spokane.
