Honey hole revealed.
« on: Dec 02, 2006, 03:21 AM »
Well Icechip has given up his secret spot to me. Feels now with all the bug kill wood and the loggers making roads into lake it shall be revealed soon enough. He has given me the OK to take some guys in there.

It is about a 65 kms snowmobile trek in. Might be able to get a bit closer but I have to check with logging company that is building roads up that way. Anyone on here have a snowmobile that might be interested in going up there for 4 or 5 nights. Spend some nights in a snowcave? Certainly would be warmer than the tents us BCers took last year. Maybe even cabin up there but Icechip said the one they used to stay in was quite old. Also very mountainous up there.

Icechip might come along with snowmachines but will be leaving the horses at home.
This trip wouldn't be for the weak. You have to be able to rough it. By that I mean if you break your leg, we will just have to splint it till the end of 4 or 5 day trip and we get back home. I will bring a bullet for you to bite as you jig for the monsters. Also need to be able to walk out (by snowshoes) if machines break down.

I have asked the natives about this lake and all reports are positive. I strongly believe you would be rewarded not only with 20-25lb burbot (according to Icechip as well as natives in area) but also 40-70lb lakers and 10-20lb rainbows. The natives don't care about world records but when I told them about the 24 lb burbot (cintail) , they just laughed and called that a Li'L one. Maybe they were messing with me but I have questioned quite a few now from the area and it sounds good.

This just might be one of the best icefishing trips of your life. A fishing paradise before it gets pillaged by some greedy minds with fishing nets :(

This lake will only be revealed to those that are coming ;D  Of course I will be taking lots of pics of the area, fish etc. for all to enjoy. These will be pictures that Iceshanty has never seen before.

Sounds like good time but I can't go that long. Could come up for the day and maybe replenish supplies if you guys need anything. With my faster sled I could make er up in an hour or a little more.
I'll be driving fuel truck up that way and see if I can find out about roads. Thx for the phone call TGF.
Dad is doing ok but no phone service till at least dec 12. He isn't happy.

Does he have a skimmer for pulling behind? Something to throw your gear in. Makes it a little less crowded up front. Easier to brokeback, when you don't have any rods poking you in the back  :unsure:
We don't have to go over any mountain passes so just the distance we would be worrying about. I have my little Tundra that I plan on bringing. What time of year is better for you Pitbell? I'm good either Jan or first 2 weeks in Feb. Fish-slayer I know will be itchin to come along so I'm already making room for him in my skimmer.
We will talk on ice tomorrow ;D

I thought you were out putting the Greenmachine on ice?
They have already had 6 feet of snow in the area. Should compact down some before we go.

Too funny Grump. :clap:

Pitbell, that is not even remotely funny. I do have a skimmer to drag you in on but I'll warn you that I don't like to go under 3\4 throttle as that tends to foul plugs. ;D

 >:D(Me on sled)         :pinch:(Pitbell on skimmer)

What I would give to go on a trip like that, TGF! 
I'd probably have to fly in from the lower 48 and meet up with some kind
sole willing to have me be a drain on their resources (it's kind of hard to
check in a snowmobile, and all my gear at the check-in counter these days).
They'd take my auger away, fearing that I'd try to drill a hole through the
cockpit or something...
Too far to drive, but not to dream about.  Take lots of pictures.
