I use a Humminbird but not the Helix 9 or 10. Check out iceshanty.com if you haven't already and search/post your question there, i'm sure somebody there will have used that set-up.
I'm in for next year for sure. I was hoping to salvage a .500 season in the consolation playoffs but it wasn't too be..
Great season duck-slayer, congrats!
If you're real motivated to get one, go west.. Last night driving home from looking for antelope we saw about 30 along the dirt road in a 2-300 yard stretch.

Recommend the Lil' Jake (http://www.jakeslures.com/lures/liljake.php). I prefer the gold w/red dots, but have had luck with the silver as well. Can usually fins them at Cabelas/Bass Pro/ Walmarts in CO.
Also +1 to fly and bubble. Our go-to for brook trout lakes is a royal coachman and as one...
