-- minus 2 today but people have been fishing.
--Skaha and Osoyoos open.
--ice coming off of vaseau
--can ice fish if you're desperate to get a bass.
--generally slow presentation .. tube or worm would try slow first but if no action try a top water.. sometimes they just go for it even in cold weather.
--might want to try fly fishing shallow areas as well,  leach, wooley buggers etc.
--shallow bays are warming up guys have been fishing last couple of weeks but most are just talking about it.

--be prepared as large rainbows are near the surface and feeding you might get a surprise on your bass outfit.
