Circling back with a report . . . Chilly day . . . one truck registered a morning temperature of -21 degrees as we drove along the north side before light. Even though the sun was out and the wind wasn't bad, it stayed cold . . . without shelters, breaking the ice in the holes and clearing it from the guides and line was a constant necessity. We accessed ice at the Ladders and headed south with no issues. We ended up fishing in the narrows and had good, if not super fast fishing. We used green and white plastic jigs tipped with meal worms and caught over 50 fish between 3 of us. The majority were slot Cutts up to 21 inches, but there were a fair amount of healthy rainbows mixed in. The fish where biting very light for us, and the most successful approach was dead sticking with a wire tip to help identify the take.
