Ice Fishing Northern Interior

Since no posts, I guess I'm the only one on forum doing any hard water fishing in the north. Here's where I have been so far.

Cobb lake - 1' of ice and some frozen slush on top - some water on surface under snow layer. fishing was slow, one brookie caught 1lb. at 9' depth. Drilled several holes and used the sonar but not many fish seen.

Eena Lake - 1' of ice plus 1' of frozen slush/makes for harder augering - some water still on surface under snow layer/wear your rubbers. Water is murky. Fishing is good with limits every time, fish up to 2lbs. I have been out there 10 times. Fish are at all depths up to 15 feet that I have fished all around lake. Lots of fish on sonar. Shrimp, berkley baits, worms, meal worms all working.

Ness Lake - 1' of ice plus 1' of frozen slush/makes for harder augering - some water still on surface under snow layer/wear your rubbers. Water is clear. Fishing is good but have yet to get a limit of 10 kokanee as they are hard to keep on. Need to use a #12 hook or smaller. They're biting on just about everything at @12-15 feet in 30 feet of water or deeper. Huge schools of kokanee, too many to count on sonar/hundreds of fish seen in one hole over 4 hours. Kokanee just under a pound. I have been out there 4 times. Brookies and rainbows also.
