I have some ice fishing gear, no sled, no quad, but I'm willing to walk a Klick or two, can get snow shoes if needed.

Maybe a primer on what equipment would be needed is a good idea.
Terry, a klick or two you say?????...well done ole Chap!!!....see what you can do when you quit smoking??? :wink:

For equipment if you really don't have anything then what you need is this...

A knife that will cut wood

Some ice line or really any line.

A hook

Minnows or artificial bait your choice.

Cut off a branch from a tree about 2 ft or so

Tie on line

Add hook and choice of bait.

Drop down hole that someone with a gas auger has drilled for you :wink: :lol:

Pull up fish.

Funny I heard the same thing MMA...but it must be a rumour :lol: . I was thinking about that lake as I know someone who has a cottage on it if someone needs to warm up or something. Bows only though...lakers are closed.

As for gear I have an Aqua-Vu Scout 2...a new old gamefisher flasher that I need to see if it works...10" Gas auger...and a few rods etc.... As for travel I have two skidoos that can be used and a trailer to pull behind it.

I typically pack light when I know I am off to the trout lakes...My typical items I bring are listed below..If walking in...will bring what I need and no more knowing the guys I am with will have a few things with them as well.

Heater /Propane
Food
Combos/Tip-ups
Jigs-Bait
Chair
Shelter/Sled

Thats the typical, I will go more into detail of baits and whatnot in the next few weeks...The best technique is actually some line attached to a branch as your strike indicater...very easy to set and use :P

I like to leave some spare propane, food, gloves and socks in the car just in case.

Never caught anything in Mosque Lake, and I know of a few others who have come off the lake empty handed as well :oops: We fished them hard but thats trout.

Here some pics to get the juices flowing

I'm going to leave this here for a little bit so its gets decent exposure...but it will get moved to the "events get-together" forum eventually guys...so if you don't see this here you'll know where to find it (and it won't get blown off the front page in a day there)

I can fit a few comfortably in there and yes the guy at the end of the lake now has a plow come all the way up to his cottage right near the lodge. And yes a quick rip to some other lakes is possible if needed. As for the stocking Steve they have changed it to 2500 last year :cry: and I think you caught them all last time :lol:
