    I shore fished up river from hidden falls on 12/23, still some open water up there yesterday when I drove by. Could be a long winter. Looking forward to pier fishing in California in February.

    So depressing. There is a little water open up by the ford dam but it’s socked in pretty tight. Might be able to shore fish up there a bit in that little eddy.

    I loathe ice fishing but I might need to scratch the itch.

    Had to bring that up didnt you Dave. I was in a bad place in my life last time I walked on water. Trying to move past that now.

    Thanks sharptailer.

    I didn’t think it was a complicated question, not sure why the head-scratching from Dave.

    I am not bashful about sharing my spots, but I try not to share spots other people show me. There isnt a lot of room back there and it isnt easy getting it. No fun to get into an area and not be able to fish it.

    I know this has been a bit of a known community hole for years.

    I’m not looking for a spot. When you called it by name and capitalized it “Hog Lake,” to me it sounds like a legitimate DNR recognized body of water. I’ve spent a bit of time on the pool and that name wasn’t familiar to me, so I asked.

    It’s only the greatest spot on Pool 2!!! ;)

    Seriously, it’s more like the only place to ice fish safely on P2 and have a chance at catching a fish. Easiest access is by boat, even when there’s ice (except when there’s ice in the channel, of course).
