I think Lightning Lake is more known for cross country skiing on part of the lake in the winter .
I think there are a few tracks maintained for this on its way up to the downhill ski area .
 
 Having said that its a good lake for flyfishing thru the summer  as the many small Rainbows readily will take your fly .

Can't tell you anything about the ice fishing there but having been up there last summer my impression was the lake suffered a substantial partial winter kill last winter.
I think its really overfished by the many campers there as there is no regulations on size retention .
Its also a self sustaining population with the deeper waters being in the 'upper ' lake
