Ice fishing winding down

[BuzzH]

Went out this evening for a couple hours to see how the ice is holding up. Still ok but the end is near. I've ice fished a fair bit this year.

Fished like a rookie tonight missed one, lost 4, snapped one off right at the hole, iced 3.

Better than not fishing though. Probably get out a time or two more and put it away for the season.

Ice is in pretty tough shape around here... usually at least 2 feet of ice by now. If we keep it up, we'll be ice free in a couple of weeks.

Who else wants the two above me to go ice fishing together?

Those are beautiful trout. I can just imagine the fun of catching them on that micro tackle.

Nothing like a good old two-holer for male bonding.

They get along fine in person. They have more in common than differences.

 

[Stifler]

I'm sure most of us would get along pretty good in person

We almost lost the ice back in February but winter keeps coming back. I bet we have 2 feet of ice still. The spring winds are going to start to chew things up and have been why I haven't been out in a long time. Looks like 25-30mph winds at Dillon this weekend so I think I'll head to the mountains and take advantage of the mediocre skiing.

Ice off is pretty good bank fishing here so I look forward to catching fish with a fly rod and a bobber soon.

Stick a fork in it for the northeast. Spring seems to have arrived in late February this year. Nice trout!

I follow the news in the dinky town of Chetek, WI. They noted this was the earliest ice off on record by nearly 3 weeks.

What’s the spear for I thought we are trout fishing?

Canyon Ferry keeps hanging on even with the wind.

Uhhhh...no.

Uhhhh...no.

I'd be thrilled to hear how I'm "doing it wrong".

I'd buy you a beer Buzz, just don't go thinking that I'm trying to take you home.
