Looking into a trip to Chautauqua in Feb. Has anyone ice fished this lake? What did you think of it? Where did you stay?

I know its great for bass in the summer. Don't know much about it for ice fishing.

Tons of perch that bite anything in the water, been going up there for 6 or 7 years.  I think I've drilled 3 holes where I didn't catch one.  That being said size is tough if you are used to Erie perch.  Big gills and crappie if you can find them.  Mayville is the most popular gill spot.  With the exception of the last 2 years, usually thick ice 12+ inches.  If you are on foot the snow can kill you up there dragging and the slush and water n top can be an issue too, but usually worth it for the fishing.  Feel free to PM if you want any specific details.  And hope it gets solid up there this year.
Spud one, spud two, if it went through, so will you!
