Great Sunday Trouting, Brave those elements!

Had a great day out yesterday. Morning bite a little slow, marked plenty of herring, we got two nice lakers in the morning around 9am, missed a few, then it was quiet until around lunchtime we decided to try another spot for the afternoon. Tucked behind an island in the sun, it was balmy out! And a bonus, the fish were very aggressive in the afternoon. We limited out and were off the ice by 3pm. Today the meegs and golden Williams and other spoons landed all the fish... couldn’t even get a herring on the bug! Not even a bite on set lines with minnows. We fished 55-68fow near very steep drops, between islands in the channels. A great day to be out, on this very special lake. All fish were 19-26”, some chunkier than others. I did snap my rod on a hookset…. Going to have to give streamside a call.

My dad got the best one of the day, fire tiger vertical jigging rap. In the AM. He doesn’t even need a graph, old school.

Friday, glare ice…. Saturday, blowing snow and 2.5’ drifts, no slush…. Sunday 4-12” snow drifts and glare ice underneath, no slush at all. Great travel! And many fish. Here’s a pic of the eaters.

Dave’s fish!

Hmm---nothing on the bugs, eh? Funny, dat! I am(or was?) really looking forward to trying mine for the first time. But lakers came to dance with the meegs. Do they take a long time to sink?

Good to see 3 generations of fishermen!

ouch

The bug goes down quick with light fluorocarbon. 4lb test or less.

In fainess to Streamside, that rod probably wasn't designed to catch THAT many fish. Nice shootin' as usual.

Their gear is great, sometimes you just get lucky!

Nice catch and great decision to move .Tight Lines

4#, eh? For those fish! I normally use 8#(and get smaller fish )

Well done, and enjoy the bounty. Looks like fish on the menu for a few meals, lol.
