Fish goes after flag on tip up!

[taxi1]

After a flag and no fish in the trout pond I laid one of my tip ups on the ice while I jigged. A big female brook trout came up, and made a swipe at the bright orange flag that was blowing around on the ice, that she could see through the 3 inch clear ice. Anybody ever have this happen?

I guess I should have had an orange jig on eh? 

Did get a 3 lb. male on the small kastmaster I was using.

You're posting, so that must mean the shanty and you are NOT structure on the bottom.
Good deal!

Chickened out on the shanty. I thought I'd give 'er one more night of cold temps to make the ice just a little bit thicker for the shanty. I may set up the shanty on the trout pond for a long lunch break and be able to see the trout below. There could still be some five pound brook trout in the pond. I may not come back in which is bad as the house payment is coming up fast!
