Do you always fish from the town of Cascade or have you tried from further north up the lake? In the past you mention that by the end of February the ice is done and you can not get on the lake. Is that correct?

Yeah the best way to understand the lake is to go to this link and take a look at the lay of the land.

We fish the shallower flats like 10-12 feet and sometimes the ridges in the 20 to 30 foot range. Sometimes you are several hundred yards from shore and sometimes 2 miles from shore.
Ice is highly variable and last year they had fishable ice into April and some years it is off in February. I think this year it will last into March at least. I am sure hoping since I'd like to make it down later this year than I usually go.
But at any time of the winter you can fall through since the lake is on a highly geothermal area and warm water is pouring into the lake all the time.
I have never left from Cascade. We usually get on the lake at Poison Creek which is the north west launch.
Best of luck if you head out.
