We also go 9 trout, some of them up to about 15-16". Not a terrible day but we certainly didn't get the bucket of perch we went for. we fished in 33 feet of water and caught fish from about 10 feet down to on the bottom

2/25/2019 7:46:14 AMI fished it last Monday. While I did arrive later in the morning which allowed him to get out of his jammies. When I asked about where to park I was told a location on the property. There was enough room for 2 vehicles. I drove around the grounds looking for perhaps more parking. It appears that during these winter months they are only renting the more luxurious cabins. They were partially ploughed out and had cars parked at them with ice gear in the backs. I ended back at the store and then unloaded my apartment and waddled off onto the ice. There were a couple of other gentlemen who I watched go out just before me so I got close to the folks fishing. They said that when they got there some folks were leaving with 5 gallon buckets full.
It was a beautiful day clear and brisk. I'd guess in the low teens. I didn't light the place on fire but did manage to catch enough for dinner and to share with friends. The ever popular " Eye ball of perch" produced the best.
And for the record I was on my best behavior. The 2 fellas I fished next to didn't think I was Grumpy!!!

2/25/2019 1:56:00 PMI called the “resort” Friday and left a message to see about renting a cabin for that night, but didn’t get a call back. I’m interested to find out what their winter cabin rates are. Still haven’t heard anything. And then to get up there and find out they’ve changed from free parking to 20.00 per day was a shocker. You can get event parking downtown Spokane for less than that. I think the owner has every right to charge what he wants, he deserves to make his money back. But he only has room to park maybe 4 rigs the way it is now. And at $20 a pop, not many are willing to pay that, so he made nothing that day. If he plowed the area that’s RV camping and charged $5-$8 a day and had a cash drop box and some envelopes he could get 10-20 rigs in there consistently. He’d probably get people who use the state launch area to patronize Tiffanys.

2/26/2019 4:25:14 PMWe fished there Saturday. Had good luck. Found the perch and never had to move. We talked to the owner of Tiffany's. He said that he had been charging for parking because of all the trash and human waste he had to clean up along with fish guts and other issues. So as it goes with most things these days the inconsiderate jack asses ruined it for others. I feel for him. You could tell he felt bad but even at $20 he felt the hassle and clean up was simply not worth it. I don't blame him. I blame the people that don't respect others property. Sad state of society.

2/27/2019 6:14:57 PMAt Sackass, you must have been the group with the hub, because there were no others on that end of the lake that day. I find it disgusting when "some people" trash an area, and I have packed out my share of garbage left behind by others more times than I can count. I saw no traces of human waste, #1 or #2, and all my buddy heard about from the owner for the $20 charge was some trash. I did see a couple fish skeletons on the ice, but lets face it, those get changed back to nutrients pretty quick through scavengers or returning to the water. You see plenty of them in all the lakes, and the fish cleaning stations on Roosevelt with the giant parts grinders discharges right back in the lake.
As for not respecting others property, I did not see or hear of any vandalism or disrespect at Tiffany's.

2/25/2019 5:44:36 PMBuc : Did they give you a definition of Local? Perhaps a driving distance from the resort? I hail from Orient and there are folks who have been there less time than I who call themselves Local. I reference my self as a commuter.
