I've only been out once in Idaho, & that was back on Christmas eve. I took my daughter up to Crowthers & had a ball. A local told us we were the first ones on the ice. I don't know if that makes us brave or stupid. The ice was clear & about 3" then. It took me over an hour before I could get 5 rods baited & in the water. The fish kept bothering the other rods, so we had to go reel in fish. Don't you hate it when that happens? We fished for about 3 hours & caught close to 60 fish. Nothing big, but my daughter had an absolute ball. I've talked with other guys that have been doing well at Devils just recently. I haven't bought my 2004 license for Idaho yet. With the drought & empty ponds, I'm still debating if I will this year. Did hit Bear Lake on the Utah side, and picked up 1 pup mack, 4 cutts & 2 whites. Pretty slow but a beautiful sunny day.
