If you didn't catch my report I ended up going to Martha Lake near George. Fishing was slow, but I did pick up one nice 23 incher and 4, 12-14 inch. Talking to some locals they said the ice went off about 3 days before the opener. There was some ice near where I camped and some drifted snow, so the water is a bit chilly. The weather was so sunny and warm, that I enjoyed just sitting and relaxing. I did get out for a few hours on Friday and stopped by Beda Lake to see how that was fishing. I wish I had taken my pontoon along and gone there. Not hot, but a few nice fish were being caught. One guy showed me a nice 5-6 lb he kept that he was going to have mounted. I also stopped by Caliche Lakes and they were a bit slow, but a few were being caught. It's too bad the Quincy lakes are infested with junk fish again. Wasn't long ago that they were killed off. Doubt the WDFW will want to invest money in those lakes anytime soon.
