Mallard lake

Anybody been out by Mallard and West Bank? Anything going on? 

Hope you got your waders and then your ice skates and then your swim suit just be safe out there  fished open water oregon dam  pick inclosed 

The ice booms you herd yesterday was the ice actually getting thicker my friend.

Still have many days left to fish,yes mallard can be tough but also very rewarding. 

I seem to do the best late ice as everyone is scared to come out on the ice after a few warm and rainy days. Oh rainy days are the best imho btw. 

I believe I catch the biggest and most fish late late ice. No people=no noise and most holes are not freezing closed so no need to make noise drilling.

I say leave the open water stuff alone until there is actually open water and go get it dude!!!!! 

Ps. 2nd place gill and 2nd place crappie yesterday at blackwell tournment.

Pm me if you want some tips

With the sun out a lot of cracking  a lot of small perch and gills till this one came in 3 times packing it up for season getting ready for open water it’s been fun ??

Electricfb - I have been out a few times this year.  It can be a real dead sea at times.  Things seem to pick up as soon as the sun sets.  Some days are better than others.  Pike have certainly been harder to come by for me anyways.  I have lost plenty of fish on tip ups this year though.  Best of luck.  

Ice is ok little messy  need cleats  going for somemore dinks and tip up for pike after tomorrow done getting ready for open water..has it been tough for everyone? Input would help  tight lines

Put alot of time they say a lot of fishon mallard very many holes and a lot of walking my exercise lol and at times less fishing  but only dinks

Any reports ?  It’s been a tough season ..anyone else having the same problem? Any input?

Was out Saturday, tough bite but did manage a few small bluegill and perch. 

Water is very clear and no snow on ice =tough fishing.

I enede up drilling right on the weeds that you can see through the ice. 

Sight fished all fish,red spikes, small green and black skidderbug.

Soulth end of lake.
