The fishing is Fair. Perch have been difficult to locate but kokanee have been active. Ice: 2-18, thin spots on the west side Tungsten jigs with wax worm for perch and shallow trout. Nightcrawlers for deep trout and kokanee.

Ice is 1”-4”. Hattie has a wide variance in thickness and quality of ice today but was capped. A couple of fisherman where brave enough to venture out by the dam and boat ramp which had around 4” of ice. Reports from the rest of the lake varies from 1”-3” all the way up to upper lake along the shore but not enough for us to venture out a verify today. Looks like a good start for now but needs some more cold.

Only minimal ice on the edges of the shoreline. Most of the lake is still open water fishable if you can find a day. Found a little bit of ice by the narrows but the 3′ swells where doing there best to not help it.

Hattie has wide variations in the ice thicknesses an quality. 1″-4″ of ice from the reports from fisherman(not enough for me to venture out on this one). Had enough ice by the dam that some brave souls where out on it. Looks like we may finally have a good solid start to build on.

Hattie was about 40% open maybe a bit more. There are 3 separate open areas; from the the West end all the way to just past the point, some in the narrows and by the old boat ramp. You can find fishable open water if you are looking for it. Dam and main boat ramp are still locked in ice.

Lake is wide open and fishing has been fair. Better if you can catch a day with less white caps, which has been hard the last couple weeks.

Fishing has been slow to fair. Catching a good amount of the small stockers that where put in this spring but big fish have been slow from shore, better from a boat. Lake is extremely full so bank fishing can be hard. Bait: worms of bottom, power bait (rainbow, green) Flies: big streamers, Bite-me-buggers, hot heads, eggs Luers: Dardevil (red/white, gold), rapals (brown trout, pearch)
Fishing is slow. Either a long day or big fish. Flies: streamers, leeches, chironomids, amphipods Lures: Rapalas (fire tiger, rainbow trout, or brown trout); rooster tails (fire tiger and rainbow trout); mepps (bright and flashy colors) Bait: night crawlers

Lake is 98% open and boat ramp was clear of ice this morning (but not free of 3′ white caps). Only ice I saw was on dam at the north end and shoreline.

Lake is ~80+% open water. Ice is from about 100 yards west of the boat ramp to the dam so no boats of size yet. Fishing should pick up as the ice comes off.

Fishing is fair. Ice is 8″-14″ on most of the lake with some open spots due to wind east of the “houses” in the bay and on the west end. Green & red jigs with meal worms, red power bait, spawn sacks.

Fishing has been Fair Ice is between 3″-9″ with the thicker being where wind has pushed sheets on top of each other. some nice perch coming out this week. Pink and green jigs seem to be the trick tipping with wax worms. Hattie Derby is Jan 4th & 5th and tickets are available at the store now. $35 for adult, $5 for youth(under 14)

Lake was capped for as far as I could see from the dam area. Ice didn’t look anywhere near good enough for me to venture on.As always conditions can change quick so use best judgment and be safe.

Lake look to be all open.Fishing was fair. Better in the morning. Big waves this afternoon. Couple kokanee today for people.Flies: hotheads, snow cones, egg patternsBait: egg sacks, powerbait (peach, red)Some pics of the outflow area

Lake is completely open as far as we could see, from east end by dam there was no ice at all.Fishing has been slow to far but if you are looking for some open water this weekend this is the best bet.

Fishing is Slow to Fair Flies: Wooly buggers (olive, brown), Hornburgs, scuds, adams Lures: Rapalas (Brown Trout, Fire Tiger), Kastmaster (Green, Blue) Bait: Worms, Power Bait (Chartruese, RWB)
