Went out to Hatch for a change of pace on Saturday, it was a beautiful day and I'm guessing the high had to be in the high forties and the sunshine for a change felt nice. Tried fishing in 6-17 feet of water, pretty much through the kitchen sink at them, power bait, worms, maggots, mill., salmon eggs, red marshmallows, neither me or my fishing partner had a bite. their were 4 other people fishing on the lake by the time we left and they didn't have any action either. Fished from about 10-2. I am wondering if maybe the lake has seen a lot of pressure and got fished out.
All in all it was a great day on the ice.

State killed off Hatch and Williams last Fall, didn't restock! New regs on Hatch: "Catch and release, may retain 5 trout." Somehow they figure if you return the perch back into the water, it'll keep them out of the lake. I read some state report on Hatch, they want to discourage backyard biologists from reintroducing perch into the lake.
