SBennett gave you some great tips. The key is to take some bait to catch a perch or two and then cut that sucker up for bait. You'll catch more perch, rainbows, and splake on that perch meat. I had good luck using a variety of lures the last few times I hit Fish Lake through the ice. I used everything from small ratfinkee style lures with a Kastmaster as a flasher to larger jigs tipped with perch meat. Perch colored lures worked well for me as well as most anything pink or white. The perch hang around the weeds but a few will venture out into 20+ FOW where the rainbows cruise through. I've found splake at that same depth but for the most part they seem to hang out in deeper water. I caught splake consistently on one trip at 40-55 FOW. A flasher or fish finder is your friend. Good luck.
