Took the new pup out today for his first ice fishing trip

He was a trooper considering how icy it was! We both took our falls and the wind was gusting enough at times to almost blow us both down the pond

At one point my pack blew over sending the auger blade cover sailing down the pond, but the pup took off and retrieved it for me as I was busy picking up all my minnows

He dosen't quite know what to make of the fish yet but he is starting to catch on to the flag up thing

Here's a couple of pics-

Good looking pup he knows where the good spots are he should be a good fish locater. A friend of mine has a yellow and he is a fish stealer

Man, I remember when my yellow was that size. She's 10 now. Best dog I've ever had. You will have many good years and outings to come.

AKDG,
AWESOME SHOTS! I love the yellow pup!!! Man, I remember when Barley was just a pup like yours. Great dogs all the way around.

Now teach him to retrieve other guys fish for ya, and you can sit back and drink coffee!

Love your pup.....our fishing buddy is a 4 yr old Springer Spaniel.....he doubles as
a bird dog when we head out for grouse
BTW, if you catch another little pike like that, will you send it up so we can
use it for bait for the lakers we catch??? Thanx...

KJB · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 09, 2007, 05:46 PM »

good looking dog, we have a 8yo chocolate, he's a great dog.

ChenBassHead · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 09, 2007, 06:01 PM »

I just got a 10 month old AKC Chocolate Lab male from a friend of my dad's...They're moving to a place where he wouldn't have room to run, so I was more than happy to take him. He'll be a great fishing buddy, I can tell...Labs are about the best companions you could want. I'm also going to try to train him to be a waterfowl/upland hunting dog.

Any pics Zach? My Neighbor up in AK has a big male chocolate who adopts me every every summer. He's a good duck dog and this summer he retrieved the better part of 100 squirrels I shot at my cabin

a dog is the perfect fishing partner, never whine to go home.

I have a buddy whose lab would love to refute that last statement......

A constant pitch throughout entire duck hunting expeditions....ughh. Darn good woodie call, I guess.
