Whitefish area ice fishing info needed

[biggyJ]

Headed down for the weekend.

Some guys wants to fish. I have only done stuff there in the summer with the fly rod.

Any info you can share would be appreciated.

Looking at m:
Beaver for bows and Kokanee
Blanchard perch and crappie
Lake 5 Kokanee

Blanchard Lake
Good ice, around 6”. Nice Perch and Crappie in the 13-18” range. Demon Jigs work well with maggots. Reports of a few decent Pike.

Beaver Lake
5” of solid ice. Decent numbers of Salmon using pink Swedish Pimps and Rat Finke Droppers. A few decent Rainbows using Clam Leech Spoons.

Stillwater Lake
8-0” of solid black ice. For Perch try and find openings in weed beds. Use Pete’s Mighty Mites for larger Perch. For Pike use smelt under a tip-up or a Dare Devil Spoon and jig aggressively.
