We used to call these ice-off as the big ones always bite just
when the weather warms enough to melt the ice on the lakes.

Fresh News From MarDon: Fishing without waiting
MARDON RESORT - Why wait for the April 1 opener when limits are being caught right now. As recently as yesterday limits of nice rainbows have been coming out of the Seep Lakes. The weather in late February & early March always seems to be irregular but the trout fishing this time of year can be excellent. This spring a number of the year-round Seep Lakes have been kicking out quality trout, most notably Upper Goose, Blythe and Corral Lakes. Goose has been the hands-down best producer with relatively quick limits in the 14- to 16-inch range. Blythe and Corral have been producing occasional limits with some really nice 18-inch fish mixed in, some running in the 5- and 6-pound range. All three of these bodies of water have easy access and adequate boat ramps. The best technique has been still fishing with bait.
