Title: First Ice Success
Post by: Forrealyo11 on Nov 14, 2017, 05:28 PM

Ice fishing has begun!  Found some success as the lake was beginning to freeze and a week after when it was a solid 5."  Both fish were released.  Looking forward to this season.

The wild/native ones put up a better fight than the stocked ones.  However, these two stocked char put up the hardest fight I've experienced with stocked char.  They must have eaten their wheaties that morning.  ;D
