Hey everyone- I’m looking for insights on ice fishing lake trout on Hungry Jack Lake. I have fished it during the summer with a variety of success. In a few weeks I’m going to try ice fishing the lake for the first time. I’m headed for that line that I drew on the drop off. Going to try jigging spoons and tip-ups with a dead Cisco. Any advice or words of experience is greatly appreciated!

It’s not out of the question that there is one or two lake trout in hungry jack, as it’s connected to west bearskin. Are you sure your friend didn’t catch it from there? But you could fish hungry jack every single day for the rest of your life, and you’ll never catch one! West Bearskin has a very good population, and is very easy to access.

That's always been my understanding as well. With so many great trout lakes along the GFT I wouldn't spend my time chasing a unicorn on HJ. Smallmouth bass, you bet. And there is a night time walleye bite on HJ as well. But at least a dozen better chances at catching trout along that stretch.
