Everyone else better step up their game because ICENFLIES is clearly better at catching all species (except burbot). Put your rods away and move somewhere warmer because ICENFLIES could hook more than than Tammy down on Queensway. BRAVO Sir 10/10 would.

Looks like had a solid day catching bulls and lil lakers..
Brookie is a hawg, did ya weigh it? - real tuff to catch them that big, most of the ones ive got this season are under 19"..
Lookin forward to more pix- gonna be well into may this year for ice fishing season before any open water is my guess.

Didn't get a weight on it, had it been girthy and fat like the typical 19-22" we find, it wouldve been pushing 7-8, but my bets are closer to 5-6.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

There are a few remote lakes id love for someone to stock brookies in as there is a ton of feed and rainbows presently in but I think brookies would do very well in.. just access is tuff..
