Mr. Chevy,
Made it to Fish Creek today. Found some great structure. Caught a Brown Trout(2.5 lbs) and had a few other bites. Slow but what a nice lake. |

I am taking my girls out to Fish Creek tomorrow and was wondering how are things done out there. I have never fished Trout or the lake before. Any suggestions? Bait, Depth, presentations, where on the lake is hot. Any info would be appreciated. My girls (10 & 8) are anxious and want to catch fish.
Thanks |

Cold water trout dont taste good! What planet are you from? Lol, I do see your point though, and I agree. I see people every year on the big lake using old frozen trout for pike fishing.....shameful! You guys been fishing by the dam more, or back by the ramp?

I think what Tippet (he must be a fellow flyfisherman with a name like that) is trying to say is that trout in Fish Creek are very vulnerable and easy to catch through the ice, and a lot are caught, just to "get a limit" then taken home and wasted. There is something about saying you "got a limit" whether it be pheasants, ducks, walleye or whatever,that feels good and satisfying, me included.
But I personally have heard of people feeding trout to cats, giving them away to others who may or may not eat them, using them for trapping bait, throwing them out, etc. (talked to a Bis garbageman one time who said every year he sees trout and sometimes buckets of perch, or other freezerburned fish and game thrown out. I tried to encourage him to report it, but he didn't seem too interested!) For most people, trout don't really taste all that great but it sure is satisfying to "limit out"...... Catching trout either in open water or through the ice is a lot of fun, especially for kids! If you eat them and make use of them, great - take 'em home! Even the most ardent flyfisherman has NO problem with that! But if you just want to go and catch fish and have fun, then let them go to grow and fight again. ND has very few good quality trout lakes, and they would be even better if everyone conserved the resource by recycling trout. So like "Headhunter" says about bucks in his many posts, let the little ones go to grow and get bigger. |

Went out tonight and caught nothing. We were fishing in about 30 ft of water and the ice was about 5 inches thick, but it looks like the middle is a little thinner.

tippet,
Or it's going to a lake where you catch fish. What's the big deal? Some days, people just want to catch instead of fish. Or want a whack at a species that's basically non-existant in other ND waters. Come up to Sakakawea...then we can define a fisherman :-) Tim S. |

Ice fishing at Fish Creek is like taking a net into the raceways at the hatchery in Garrison, and calling yourself a fisherman.
