Ice Fishing in Okanogan Highlands of Washington

Ice fishing has been enjoyed in the Okanogan Highlands of Washington for generations and is still popular today.  The Highlands experience a colder winter than in the Okanogan valley and as such ice thickness is usually fine in January and February.  Check the Washington State Fishing regulations for the lake you are interested in fishing.
