Overnight ice fishing species

[Bigjay73]

If you had to spend a night on the ice, would you go after lakers, walleye, or trout? In Colorado if that makes a difference. There are lakes with quality fish of all species, looking for the most predictable species from dusk till dawn.

I would personally sleep in my own bed and get up early/stay late. The only species of those 3 I’d be targeting dawn/dusk/evening would be walleye.

Just gotta put the bed on the ice. Heading out this weekend in our ice house on the lake targeting eyes and we will catch most in the dark and a lot while sleeping (rattle reels wake you up when one grabs a line)

Walleye, easily. They're incredibly crepuscular fish. The big white marble eyes are like that for a reason. They thrive in the twilight hours.

Walleye is the answer I was hoping for

It's something I wanted to try once, may regret it lol.

I've done it a lot and if you have a permanent shelter/ice castle or somewhere to sleep other than a cot in a hub it won't be as bad.
