Speaking of Blood Indian, I heard that it is infested with Prussian carp.....are they getting caught in numbers up there?

The carp have been there in high numbers for 4 or 5 years now. I don't target them, but catch lots of trout with carp in their bellies. When there's clear ice in the shallows, you can look down and see large numbers of them, flashing like silver dollars.

I went out once this summer, and spoke to a worker at the Trading Post who indicated that the fishing this summer was the worst in memory. Hopefully that was just due to the heat, and not the carp.

I didn't do very well, I trolled the lake for a few hours and caught three. A small brown, a decent rainbow and a large rainbow. Can't wait to get out on the ice this year, early ice is always crazy on that lake!

4.5 lbs. Would've won the fishing derby by a mile. Notice it's missing a pectoral fin.

The Prussian Carp were big enough that they were being caught by shore anglers with worms and P-rigs.

Report from other anglers was slow but I caught a couple Bows. I wasn’t surprised to hear it was slow, being my first time there I was shocked that trout overwinter in that eutrophic lake

I've never been to Blood. No real reason why, heard it can be windy as heck, and since I generally flyfish these days, I guess that's my excuse.
That said, I think it's time to plan a trip in the spring (broken wrist atm). I'll do my part pulling out the carp and maybe with a lil luck I can find my first Tiger. A chance to knock two new species off my list at one lake, I'm in!
Thanx for sharing folks.:)

How’s it for snow out that way? I have a buddy that is passing through and he only has a car.
Thanks.

I'd imagine there's a fair bit of snow in the park, but the highway getting there should be no problem. If he has an issue getting through the park, he can always park close by and walk to the lake. It's a small lake and there are lots of good spots within walking distance from shore.

Wondering if anybody takes their trailer during the ice fishing season?

Can a guy get within walking distance of the ice in just a car right now? I don't have a sled to drag all my gear
Just want to haul the auger and a couple rods, is the snow plowed in the campground?
