Rainbow Trout early season
just a couple of feet below
the ice and near creek
outlets. Eloika’s cold waters
create an ideal environment
for these fish. Anglers can
also test their skills against
the Large-mouth bass,
known for their elusive
behavior even in freezing
temperatures, and they are
big in this lake, especially
on an ice rod.
Yellow Perch and Crappie
add a variety to the fishing
experience at Eloika.
These panfish offer more
of a relaxing angling
experience, making the

lake suitable for seasoned
veterans and beginners
alike. Perch are abundant
and make sure to check the
regulations for the Crappie
size and limit.
As ice fishing shelters and
anglers dot the frozen
landscape, camaraderie
flourishes among anglers
who gather to share stories
and tips. Eloika Lakes icy
embrace beckons, offering
a unique and thrilling
experience for those willing
to brave the cold pursuit
and snag the perfect catch!
