Also, i was super shocked to see an 18 inch rainbow take a few swipes at a 4 inch perch I was reeling in, hopefully a few of them are actually hunting those little guys, I would have never thought a rainbow would eat a perch.
Surprised to see less than a foot of ice as well after all this cold.

It’s interesting the ice is 10.5 to 11 inch where I drilled. I will be out tomorrow. Lots of small perch again but the bigger perch are still around. Just need to find the larger sized schools.
Did you catch any browns?
I find chopping the tiny perch up at the end of the day and watching them sink and get eaten by trout is interesting. Need to cut the dorsal spines off. The perch and trout will eat the small pieces off the bottom.
