Trout and northern pike are both very active during the winter months. I have caught many bass through the ice as well but they definitely prefer warmer water. Try a tip up for the pike and jig for the trout with a forage minnow (Northland tackle) tipped with a crappie minnow. You may also want to try and catch some panfish (crappie, bluegill or perch) while you are out there. They can be really active when they are biting and are extremely tasty. Good luck!
