Slower day, my fishing buddy caught 3 9" Rainbow, I was skunked :(, seen someone catch a 15" trout, never seen one this big come out of here before.

Can you fish from shore at this lake boats to big? Thanks in advance

Was there on the weekend. Lots of decent sized fish, and even more under sized fish. Fairly weedy in the far west corners. Big Browns and Rainbows. Pretty busy lake.

Ice Report: 2 ft
The lake is open in the middle but fenced off. 2ft think around the shore lines

Slow day one rainbow

22" brown Jan 2nd. Beautiful fish. Let her go to live another day. Couple 12 and 14" rainbows.

Spent whole day here today. Parked on shore first, walked out and drilled holes up to center of lake. Ice thickness is average 17 inches and solid. Drove on after I was safely convinced. Beautiful day, but didn't see anything or get anything. We fished 3 different depth zones about 3 hours each, using maggots, dew worms, and power baits. My boys used the shack and I fished outside perimeter. Still was better than being on the couch!

Was out today, couple nibbles. Ice is 1 foot deep, open water is fenced.

Anyone out this winter season?

Ice off yet?

20th Dec: Ice is 10-12inches

Six people fishing here this morning, only saw one bite. Nice spot bad day fishing.

Was out today slow in the am. Caught two 12- 13 rainbow between 1-2 pm. Ice is soft and flooding. Please resist the urge to drive on the ice. If you don't have a good 4x4 park at the top and walk down.

Spent couples hours today on the float! Fine day 4 - 10-12" trout. Couple took on a dry fly, couple on a wet? Elk haired caddis had the most luck!

Went out on the 21st. Caught 7 in 1 hour. Two were small but the rest were 1 lb or Bigger.

Fished here the past two days. Lots of action. Good sized rainbows.

Still lots of ice in the lake. Couple more weeks yet before you can get out on the water

Finally made it out here. Do not recommend for late season ice fishing with the aireatir the ice is deceiving. Thin ice signs everywhere. We never drilled a hole.

Fishing was great. Catching rainbows like crazy between 3 and 6 pm. Every cast had bites or caught fish

We were catching rainbows all evening from 4-9pm. We both limited out. Biggest fish was 3.5lbs. Trolling works best on this lake.

Never caught a fish here seen loads jumping good lake any body give me some tips

Where is the best spot to catch browns

Mitchell lake is not stocked every year. Every other year usually.

Fishing was great. Caught 6 in 2 hours.

No bites at all.

Very slow. Almost no bites. Caught 1 small fish

Mitchell lake is a beautiful radiated lake that is stocked every year with rainbows. It's a pontoon friendly lake with easy put in and take out. Large Browns in Mitchell but you have to be stealthy. Early morning is best before the shore fisher people get there. Each pattern works well.

Went for a few days. Caught a ton of tiny rainbows and a few fair sized rainbows. Seen a couple ppl pull out browns but they are much harder to catch. East shoreline seems to be the best place.

Healthy fishery well cared for so no winterkill. Fair sized rainbows and browns. The browns spook easy so use caution. N.E corner by beaver lodge has a lot of structure and holds fish well.

Fished here yesterday. Caught 5 between me and my hubby using pickerel rigs. Beautiful healthy fish. Decent size between 12 and 20 inches.
