A few trips ice fishing

Ice fishing usually starts with meeting at my place for 5-6am, loading up the trucks and driving out past civilization. Trekking into lakes with-out any previous foot steps, the fresh snow, scenery, solitude and wildlife make up part of the day. Moose and wolves have been some of our visitor`s.

If you look really close, no closer, those two little specks in the middle of the pic, close to the shoreline are wolves. :)

Trout and walleye have been on the bite lately. Usually we fish trout in the morning, then switch lakes looking for the walleye bite around witching time. Within a few outings, patterns were made and fish were consistantly being caught. We have had some good numbers days with a few bigger fish being caught.


Here are some pic`s of some of the recent outings.

Myself and Sniper caught 16 this day before 11am in the 1-3lbs range keeping nine for the table.

The eyes have been providing us some fun at night.

With the season just beginning, I look forward to each and every outing with new expectations. Can`t wait for the next day on ice, already.

Craig - His new acquisition means that someone inherited of his previous flasher ;).
