Lots of big rocks on the bottom. Beware of snags. Good luck!

Hi!
1st of all -> BE SUPER CAREFUL  -> West Hill is always the last to freeze over -> Lots of underwater springs from mid-pond to the 60 ft. hole at the south end.
2nd -> Your going way to deep for trout -> You want to stay shallow (0 - 15 ft.) for them.
Jigging over the deep spot is suppose to be good for Kokanee Salmon!
AGAIN! -> Be Careful -> Mid-pond to South end

As said - stay shallow for trout....no need to go deep in winter - they cruise under the ice.....I find fishing up against the shore usually pays off - even in as litle as a couple of feet of water.
Ice - Highland lake next door in winstead had almost a foot of ice on Sunday.....
The top was messy though.....1 foot of snow....6 inches of slush/water underneath that then the ice......
Good Luck
