Lake Ogallalla Ice fishing

Just a current report.I was on the little lake all day on Tuesday.Bluebird day the whole time and I caught fish the whole day.Swedish pimple with a wax worm or two.Color didn’t seem to matter.All white bass and perch.Only one problem .Big fish of the day was a 9 3/4 inch perch.
Several of the white bass were about that size also but there were alot of true dinks.I’m talking 3-4″ fish.Looked just like the perch colored thundercranks.I talked to almost everyone that fished that day and to the creel census guy with the state they said it has been similar to that most of the winter.I did see the largest perch I have seen for a long time though.A guy fishing near me caught a 13 and 3/4 incher. But the whole rest of the day was about like mine.

Sounds like a fun day. Thanks for the report.

Any trout?

I didn’t catch a single trout or see a single trout caught all day.We were all fishing out around the south side of the point that splits the 2 basins in around 25-30′ water.I just fished the 4 holes I started with and 8-9 other guys that were out moved all over the north 1/2 of the south basin and all had similar luck .Some better some worse but I didn’t see a single trout or hear of any.Some guys were using artificials others were using minnows and I stuck with the waxies but no trout.Any good ideas on trout on the Ice?????

Try small split shot 18inches above aberdeen hook with corn as bait. Fished about 6 inches off of the bottom. Yes, corn, very low tech but hey its been working for me out here on this end of the state.
