Default Winter kill at Rock Lake

I have just left Rock Lake and it looks to have completely winter killed. Many pike perch and whitefish along the shore and on the bottom. I was fishing with five uncles and another man and we had no bites at all. No pike caught at Lake Newell either, but no sign of winter kill there.

I got skunked at Newell for the first time
Ever on Saturday, not a single bite, no signs
of fish. I tried everything, wide selection of spoons
Some large spinners, bunch of cranks. even broke out a
Rapala skitter pop, that was more for my amusement lol

last year around this time the pike could not seem to get
enough of my perch pattern Len Thompson and Mepes floro yellow
Spinner

maybe the water is still to cold, and the fish are still sluggish
