The farthest up Sak that I have caught them was in some small bays around Indian Hills. This was pitching crank baits in spring time. Truthfully, I have caught way more salmon ice fishing.
Vintage 2015. I have thrown these on here before
this was all near the dam. Back off of the dam and find really deep sharp dropping points
Sketchy ice down that way and we never had any competition.

In the 90s a few times we ran into a school of them at night with jigging spoons. It was random but during that time we had two or three good nights, once we stumbled in to where they crossed a point. They were 25 feet down over about 50 I had a buddy pull up a 13 and an 11 back to back and we had another one snap a stiff 3 ft jigger
I caught eight.on that day in 15. Some small males and one that was about five. Its quiet for hours and then 20 min makes the day.
last few years, they have been super hard to find.
The lower water years were always the best for stumbling into ice salmon
