: Juneau Area: October - March
As winter time sets in around Juneau, most anglers take a few months off and prepare for the upcoming spring and summer season. However, limited angling opportunities still exist during the winter months. Any pond or lake that will normally hold trout and salmon in the summer months should contain some over-wintering trout and Dolly Varden. The water will need to be deep enough to stay unfrozen and provide enough room for the fish for the entire winter. Ice fishing is typically done with light tackle and with the use of an auger to open a hole in the ice. Remember most lakes in the Juneau area are off limits to the use of bait, be sure to check the regulations after selecting a place to fish. Salmon Creek Reservoir and Twin Lakes are two exceptions and are open to the use of bait year round. Its always a good idea to check the local weather conditions and get the okay before heading onto the ice. Be safe and have fun. Typically sometime in March, the ice will begin to break up around the edges of lakes and opportunities will again become available along the ice lines. Small spoons or wet flies will work on trout and Dolly Varden as they prepare to either stay in their freshwater system or make the summer trip to the salt water buffet. Early mornings and late evenings in open pockets where ice is melting can be productive from shore, or kicking a float tube along an ice line is another option. Reported by: |
