Where's a good place to go ice fishing for Northern pike within 3-4 hours of Idaho falls?

Thanks for your interest in ice fishing for Northern Pike.  Unforutnately, there are not a lot of opportunities for doing so within a few hours drive of Idaho Falls.  The nearest place you can pursue your activity would likely be Little Payette Lake, near McCall.  I spoke with the fish manager up there, and he says that as of yesterday, the lake has not frozen. If you are looking for an opportunity to ice fish a bit closer to Idaho Falls, I would suggest checking out Mackay Reservoir, north of Arco.  Anglers are reporting great catches of kokanee in the 10" range. If you have additional questions, feel free to give me a call at 208-525-7290.   Dan Garren, Regional Fisheries Manager
