Cold Sweat Lake

[TGF]

Ise De Bye and I decide to hike in to a pothole lake. As we are driving in, a moose is hanging in the field. No BC adventure is the same without some wildlife thrown in


So we hike in the 1.7 kms   to this lake. Its uphill most of the way (and uphill on the way back to   )
Arrive at the lake in a sweat and decide to start fishing along the one edge. Its very shallow where I'm drilling so go a little deeper. As I'm drilling Ise De Bye spots a boat on the ice and says "You can fish here if you want to but I'm gonna hit that boat so I can fish with 2 rods"..... Off he runs all giddy about his find and wanting to beat me there I get there to find him ....



He stripped down because of the run there

After catching none there he decides to head a little deeper and after 2 minutes in another hole he pulls out the biggest fish of the day...


Then all was quiet for a long while and he pulls up another...Well actually it jumped out of the hole


I did ward off the stripe down my back with a smaller rainbow of maybe 16 inches but avoided it none the less.

All in all a good day. He lost a good one as hook bent straight. Oh well, we will be back for more snowshoe fun.



Please note this is based on a true story and mostly correct.

PS: When I grow up I want a truck like his and a snowmachine like his

   Ya that boat was frozen in,  Some unlucky bugger wont be happy in April when it most likely will be sunk from the shifting ice.  This lake had a reputation for having big bows,  we know they are there,  we just need to try a variety of lures to see what thay are feeding on.    I think I know what I would try next time.   We did not put a full day in either, as the hike in and out wiped me out.......  being fat sucks  !!!!!!       All in all, it was a good day,  a few wild rainbows caught,  the lake to ourselves......   and a spot with big potential.  I'll be back.    Thanks TGF for all your help today, and comming along

Man my wife is loving me being down here as I wouldn't be seen at home until next spring. Would love to be hitting up all the lakes up there with the ice

   and a spot with big potential.    Thanks TGF for all your help today, and comming along      

Big potential for sure judgeing by the size of the frying pan left there, someone knows there is big ones

I didn't help much Ise, just hung on going over some of those cliffs. As for the hike in:  My momma always taught me the one with the longest legs must break first
