Fishing Report by Chancy and Dave 2.21.25

The ice is solid, the fish are biting, and there’s plenty of action across the lakes…

🎣🎣 Chancy and Dave’s Fishing Report 🎣🎣

🔹 Bitterroot Lake- Good ice, south end lots of snow. Salmon bite is good, 80-100’ of water. A few nice rainbows on the north end.
