Beginner Ice Fisherman
« on: Jan 10, 2015, 05:20 PM »
I'm new to this website so I hope im putting this in the right spot.
I am looking to get into ice fishing. My main fish I'm looking for is panfish and trout. Does anyone have any goto lures, jigs, and bait I should buy. Do I need a fish finder and where could I get all these things for cheap. I live near Layton, UT so does anyone have any good fishing spots near me?

a flasher would be a great help to you. as i mainly fish walleye and panfish and only trout when my favorite giant pond isn't frozen. my go to's are VMC tingler spoons in perch(both perch colors) orange glow pink glow and blue glow. also VMC tear drop jig in perch and blue. then for those slow finesse days you need the VMC pug bug and the tungsten jig. also the TriggerX soft baits are great. i have used the VMC flash champ a few times so it might be a good trout lure seeing that it is a castmaster imitation. i use all rapala product because they are the only things that i have used that last produce and don't leave me hanging.

Welcome to the shanty Chiefsandfishing, right now anything close to layton is not safe. I will tell you that if Holmes creek res. freezes back up solid I would start there. Everything your looking for can be caught there. I like to use 1/8oz pk flutter fish in the firetiger color and have caught almost everything in there on that color. Get a few more posts in and the Reports & Conditions boards will open up for you. Very good research place
