Rod:
Go out there when it is -30 this week. Will give new meaning to the term hard water fishing.

Not technically Ice Fishing but more Fishing in the Ice/Snow. Had a lot of fun last week fly fishing the lower mainland lakes from shore. Seems like the sudden warm temperatures and snowmelt got the rainbows really excited and they were smashing any flies I put in front of them. Looks like there will be temperatures in the double digits and rain in the coming week so it should still be good. Many lakes still have a lot of trout on them from the fall stockings

Always dicey so lately I don't even try that one during January. Many times been there just with my fly rod hoping it will have melted only to have to go back home empty handed after a nice hike  - last season there was ice well into March!

Mostly focusing on all the other lakes that don't freeze, and doing quite well! Hopefully I won't see you as I believe you are the one that always beats my *ss  ;D

Rod has been eating so many brook trout, I worry his face is going to break out in little red spots with blue haloes! ;D
