WILDHORSE RESERVOIR
There is almost a foot of snow on the ice and close to two feet as you get off of the ice up the hills as well as 14 inches of good ice, so both anglers and snowmobilers can have some fun. Fishing for trout has been fair to good with no report of any perch being caught this week. With the snow and the warm afternoon temps, anglers will want good boots, as there will probably be some slush between the ice and the snow. Anglers continue to catch 16 to 20 inch trout close to shore in less than 15 feet of water. Most of the fish are being caught high in the water column within two to three feet of the bottom of the ice. Anglers are having the best luck using brightly colored jigs tipped with a piece of worm or wax worm. Many of the trout are being caught off of the state park boat ramp in front of the rock face to the south and along the shore near the BLM campground. Many of the fish are being caught very close to shore. When perch were being caught a couple of weeks ago, they were in 32 feet of water north of the island and right on the bottom.
The Wildhorse Trout Derby at Wild Horse State Park will be held on February 18 and 19 over President's Day weekend.
