Idaho Fish Report

Comins has approximately 10 to 12 inches of good ice, though there are soft spots and little bit of open water on the north end. Unless we get a cold spell, which is unlikely, this may be the last weekend of safe ice here.  However, fishing has been good for 14-to-18 inch trout and northern pike.  Worms seem to work best, though just about anything has been working.  Jigging with minnow imitations has been productive for both trout and pike.  Anglers, please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several Northern Pike.  These pike will have an orange floy tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna coming from their stomach. Please return these fish to the water for research purposes.  If it doesn’t have the transmitter tag, please humanely dispatch the fish.  Don’t put it back in the lake.
