Pash, Haven't heard how the drilling through the ice is going however, I am quite certain that this lake has not been fished out. I think there are some really big big lunkers at the bottom to be had, (below bottom to be precice). The results from fishing from just on shore have shown that likely our catch limit will be met if not exceeded. The way things are proceeding we should have no problem with getting first prize for total pounds and ounces. Will just have to wait a bit longer for the weigh in. Ice fishing in Canada is such great sport. Best wishes to all. the deputy.
