Manzanita is or will be a great ice fishery soon. You can probably call the ranger station to see if it is worth going prior to making the trip.

Pay attention to the special regulations here, especially where you can and can't fish. Barbless hooks, artificial lures, catch and release. Make sure you inquire at the park entrance.
