How is the fishing at Phillis? I have never been there before but am thinking of heading up there on saturday. Are there any reccommended spots or tactics anyone might feel inclined to share? How is it for wind? Thanks RH
Sunday Jan. 18 fished at Strubel from 1100am to 230pm until the skidoos took over the lake. Landed 8 rainbows 10" while standing on 14" of ice. There as about 25-30 pick-ups on the pond but it was too nice a day to go home. A conservation officer spent the day at the lake and counted the catch/release all cay. We released all 8.
Phillas lake if u go that is really windy u will get wind we have only caught little ones like couple of inches but we have seen the brod stock skiming just on the botttom of the ice just usen corn and a wire worm works best if u got a hut and u can see the action...
