was on Orcas Island over the weekend. it was cold and there was very little open water on the local lakes. but I decided to try and wet a line. As you can see I was unsuccessful. I thought about Ira and using a bobber. Not sure if that would have been effective either. Oh well.....

dp, that is Cascade Lake. Historically, it is stocked with rainbows and there are some resident cutts.

I saw nothing swimming below the surface. the surface was, well.... all iced over. And not clear ice like I like pouring my whiskey over.
Man, I'm getting cabin fever, I may go to Rocky Ford for a fix.

it actually bounced off the ice and skipped toward the middle of the lake. guess I need to work on a softer presentation.

As a seasonal visitor have fished Cascade many times. Of the last few years have caught rainbows (10"-17"), very rare cutthroat, kokanee (thoug challenging of course with fly), oh...and tons of small bass.
