I just got home from beaverdam lastnight the fishing was pretty poor, we fished for 2 days only landing 3 fish and loosing about the same, Everyyear that lake gets worse, I have an underwater camara so I can see all the fish that are crusing around and the numbers are waaay down from a few years ago

I havent fished it for about five years but we did well there and nailed some in the 5 and 6 lb.class. We always did well with jigs and a little wiggle tail and the bait was krill and or fresh prawn. keep the jig slightly moving,It's a shalow lake and Quit fun to sight fish em, Good luck,PS if the fishing is too slow hop over to Big Bar lake for some rainbow action

Its a cabelas underwater cam, 7' b&w screen, I have a 6x8 ice hut aswell to cut out the glare from the sun, once you ice fish with the cam you can never do it without one again
