Ira and I hit LC today, got there around 8 am. Saw lots of deer, elk even a few turkeys on the drive in. We brought our ATV's but after unloading them at the dam, we found the DWR how plowed the road all the way to the ramp parking lot for a tournament they were having today. We got on the ice with no problems but the snow was 8" deep, so we tried to stay of the paths on the way out, to our spot for the day. We set up away from everyone and I had a nice 16" bow on the ice as soon as I put my first line down, the rest of the fish were in the 12 to 14" range. My first three fish were bows and pretty fat the last four were cutts and pretty skinny. Ira mainly caught cutts but he also caught a tiger trout and a splake. Once it started snowing pretty hard, we decided to leave, a little after 1pm. Talked to the DWR as were were leaving, at that time the big fish of the day was a tiger trout that was over 24". No pics today but one last thing, the ice was over 13" thick, with two layers of frozen slush before getting to the solid ice.
