Trout info
« on: Feb 16, 2018, 05:57 PM »
Hey all....

So been ice fishing for years with my son catching lots of pan fish and of course pike. He has been asking about catching some trout through the ice and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with it and wouldn't mind giving a very general location where we should get started. Excited to try something new and experience it with the boy. Thanks in advance for any info...

Tight lines and be safe
My Biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

Tight lines and be safe.

Trout requires a different mind set. I am set up pre-dawn. Echo, shadow, Caspian Willy, NEK lakes etc will all give up trout but there is a price to pay.

Caspian is easy enough to get some,lakers. Dunmore is also decent. Live shiner foot or two off bottom (not pike bait! But mediums). Use a 3 foot mono or floro leader and enough weight to get you minnow down. Not sure about jigging them.
Load it, Drive it, Park it
Bait it, Jig it, Hook it
Catch it, Clean it, Cook it
Simply put just get out/ and do it
