Default Open water bows

Going to Bullshead? Leave the boat at home unless you have an icebreaker. Enough open water along the shoreline though. Was a good day, fish have wintered well, got about a dozen or so ranging from 10 - 23", 3 were over 20. Leeches with a chronie dropper, only got 2 little guys on the dropper, everything else hit the leech.

Awesome looking fish! For a pretty hard winter those fish look in good shape.
Thanks for the pics and report.

Thanks for posting Hacman. Looks like a good time.

For anyone that is curious, a buddy fished Police Outpost today. He said the lake was about 1/3 ice free. The west end is open.
