Lake Davis has just begun to thaw out after a long winter. With each passing day, the lake continues to open up along the edges. As the edges thaw, trout cruise the open water looking for food. Leeches and chironomids will be top producers following ice out. The edge where ice meets open water can fish well since the ice provides cover for the trout from hungry predators flying above.
