Never trolled it for anything up there but have ice fished up there a few. The 3rd seems to be the only happening gig for me up there. It is also the furthest. Was up there for a few days x5 guys ice fishing for lakers on the 1st conn. 1 laker in all for all of us over 3.5 days of fishing. Should have been good conditions too. Used everything in the box plus shiners, suckers, and I think one of us had some smelt for a day. Plenty of ling but no dice on anything else.
We are planning another ice fishing trip this year but it won't be there. It is a very nice place though. Almost worth it just for that.
On the 1st Lake I would try dropping some shiners or jigging across from Camp Otter. There is a sand bar and dropoff ESE of that point. Last time I was up there one guy was anchored and using live bait. He was doing better than we were trolling. You may want to troll the edge of the shelf. We also picked up some lakers on the south end on the westernshoreline and by the big poit that almost looks like an island.
