lake Newell update Jan. 8

[K-J-F]

Went to lake Newell for the first time on Wednesday morning. Parked in Kinbrook Park boat launch area and went North with the sled to the first island. Set up in the general area as the other permanent huts. Saw a bunch of dink perch no whitefish or walleyes. Packed up went to Jackfish bay. Set up the southern tip of the medium sized island marked a few got one descent pike on a tip up and one medium pike jigging. Overall a very slow day.

Ice conditions were great in both locations. A couple trucks driving around very little snow cover just barely enough for the sled. Drive on access at Jackfish was great.

Now with the new snow today it might be a little more difficult for driving.

If anyone has any tips on finding whitefish and those monster pikes I've heard about that would be great.
