Upon arrival to the first location it was clear we were ice fishing that day, but the shoreline were shot and ringed with open water. Kind of a discouraging sight to see but on to the next. Lac numero deux were able to get on. Its a big fish lake, I've seen some big speckles from this place and was excited to get a line wet. Some fellas in a Argo showed up and drove right across the lake lol. After a few hours with no bites my buddies were not having it and suggested we move on. Its a patience lake, I would have liked to have stayed a bit longer after the trophy.
Made the trek into one of my favorite lakes, it's a good ways in. 10 minutes after the noise settled from us setting up, Tom was into the first one of the day.
It didn't take long, I put my rod down for a second and almost lost it
This beauty came up the hole... First one of the year, so it was RELEASED!
A few more pictures from the day..
With rain in the forecast on the Sat it would have been hairy trying to get on the ice again though I'm sure it would have been possible. Anthony and I opted to fish some streams and small creeks instead. I love walking these places for trout. You feel further away from civilization with every step.
The trout are always a bonus here. Its a tricky creek to maneuver and get your presentation in the path of feeding trout. Most of the time if you spook 'em there's no chance at them. They dart upstream with so much panic and speed any fish in their way get spooked too. I got skunked on this day but did see a bunch of trout. My brother lucked into a few to get his first trout of the season. Real beauties for this spot.
Anyone else make it out last weekend?
