Trade you your rain for our 2 foot snow dump Joe?

I'll take the snow dump! There is hardly enough snow to get off the lake to play. The weather looks better towards the end of the week.

I dont mean to butt in on your guys fun, but I have no choice when there are no other trout categorys brook trout are few and far between on the big lake. I will have to try to put wisconsin on the map for lake trout. I thought there was a rainbow category but I guess just for youth. I will see if I can get a nicer laker out of lake superior for you laker nuts here is a pic of a rainbow or steel head i c&r this weekend on LS

I have a brother in law in Sheridan, Wyoming he isn't in to ice fishing but just wondering if there are any good laker lakes in that area?

POk3s · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 23, 2011, 11:16 PM »

Not that I know of. I'm sure you can catch some lakers up there somewhere but I haven't heard of anyone ever catching a sizeable laker from up there.

I don't fish for lake trout but I would suggest you to quit fishing for little brook trout and start walking the talk with these 35 lb lake trout you speak of.

Wyoming appears to be walking the talk thus far and they don't even have anywhere near the number of lakes or laker sizes we have.... yet are posting up very nice fish.

TGF · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 12:47 PM »

Yeah Hally I think you need to convince others to come along. Your dad seems to not get out as much as you like. I can take you as can Ise.

I'm not sweating the laker thing yet as last year Fish-slayer and I went into a hot spot and only fished a day and caught a 41.5 inch beauty. Might have to go back there. This same thing happened last year where BC wasn't posting and they thought we were sand bagging but we came thru in the end. I don't expect this year to be different in the outcome. Nice to see them putting on the pressure though.
I'm hitting a laker lake this weekend so plan on challenging that 38" that was posted.

British Columbia · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 01:35 PM »

You know what they say about rooting for the underdogs

The pink mohawk was hilarious.

I'd sure like to see Wyoming put a 40" plus up on the board this weekend to put the added pressure you fellow BC'ers.

I'm just waiting for the days to get a little longer, warmer and a couple of ice roads to open then it's game on.

I know of several lakes that produce 40 to 50 inch fish in the area. I just need to connect with one.
2 summers ago there was a 45# fish caught on one of the lakes right off the road outside of town. So I know they are there.

Still looking for fish like these through the ice.

Gonna try and recapture that 44" pike this weekend so I can get a shot of it with the tape not flipped over.

Word From BD, he iced a 40incher today? Don't know if he's telling a story or what, but he wants to barrow my computer tonight to post pictures!

Well, this lake is about half the distance you guys are travelling, and i it has much easier access! and is small enough to concentrate the fish in a smaller area.

POk3s · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 06:32 PM »

Hopin' it's a legit 40"! I guess we shall see.

Any news from the boys up north!!!!!!!?

hallyslayer · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 07, 2011, 10:57 PM »

nope

unfortunatly my dad is not gungho enough to drive to these lakes. I have depth charts and everything. But the worst part is you need a sled to acces manyt of these lakes, and that we don't have!

POk3s · « **Reply #55 on:** Feb 07, 2011, 11:25 PM »

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #58 on:** Feb 08, 2011, 10:54 AM »

I have a trip planned 280kms North of Yellowknife but the tourney will be over by then.

I hope to make it to some spots before the tourney ends though.
Just waiting for the days to get longer.

I too will be trying in the next couple of weeks!
