With the last storm they received 3 to 4 feet of snow on top of the ice. But with the rains that followed. The snow on the lake has diminished and there was 20 inches of ice on the lake as of last week. Fishing is still good for average rainbows in the 12 to 15 inch class. The red power egg was the ticket last week. Jigging small spoons or kastmasters can also bring in the strikes.

Please note, there are plenty of areas along the highway by the spillway and the launch ramp to pull off and park. There were so many anglers using the resort parking area that interfered with the guests of the resort. The resort has implemented a $20 parking fee Which is reasonable for direct access to the lake and for day use. For more information go to capleslakeresort.com. Or call 209-2528-8888.
