I had a few hours to kill this afternoon and I thought, what better way to kill them than to go icefishing. But I needed a goal, so I choose to try and catch the smallest perch I could from an Adirondack lake.

It was just a little windy out there:


We kept getting on and off snow squalls:


At first I kept catching bigger perch than I wanted:




I even managed a few smelt:


But finally I caught the smallest perch of the day:

Thank you. Most of the smelt were smaller than that though.  I just wanted to fish differently today. Thus, the quest for the smallest fish.  ;)

 The laker and that pickerel. Wow those are small. Yet I'm still jealous of that laker because I have yet to catch one
