I decided to take a ride up the hill to check out the ice-out conditions on some of the lakes and catch a few fish. Adding a tiger trout to my list was one of the objectives. Red Lake is nearly open with a little slush near the dam, Caples is only about 5% open water. Silver Lake is completely ice free. The fish gods were cooperative despite the high winds.
