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.
Looks like that will be very soon Steve. Im starting to wonder if we wont be back out on pool 2 before the end of the month. Weather forecast is shaping up.

Nice! I think an IDO <em class=”ido-tag-em”>ice fishing Pool 2 get together would be fun. How many hole can we punch in Hog Lake???
What/Where on p2 is Hog Lake? Or is that another name for Pig’s Eye?

What I know as Hogs Bay
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.
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).
