Well, I'm 3 days late but here goes. Went fishing Friday afternoon with Jerry at Skaguay. Was only at the lake about 20 minutes when Rain Bow pulled my ultra-light ice rod down the hole. Was 12 feet away at my other rod when the rod on the pail started twitching. Got up and took a step and the rod bent in half. The rod then jumped off the pail and I dove for it and jammed my hand down the ice hole. Had it in my hand for a second and then it was gone. Arm in my wool suit was froze in 1.5 hours. Left an hour early because of cold wrist and hand and numbness. Did I ever think this would happen at Skaguay? NO. Yes at Elevenmile or Antero. Always secure the rods at those lakes. I ended up catching 4 rainbows and keeping 2. Jerry caught 2 rainbows and kept them. He also released a small pike.
