Was out on Boca on Monday and ice thickness around the dam was about 7-8 inches but with the current warm temps we've had this week only those who really trust the thinning ice are going out. The Inlet area of this lake is open water and some have had good success catching rainbows here. If it's moving water here it is RESTRICTED TO RULES OF BARBLESS LURES AND FLIES AND CATCH AND RELEASE FISHING ONLY! Those who trust the current ice conditions are catching Kokanee, Rainbows and some nice Browns. Nightcrawlers and minnow imitation jigs are your best bet for the browns.
