Ice Fishing


This weekend myself and a couple buddies went and did the ultimate winter sport...Ice fishing. This is my third attempt at ice fishing and the last two time resulted in no catch. Ice fishing gets a little difficult when you can't feel your hands or feet and you aren't catching fish :-) This time we went to a lake that took us 3 hours to get to, but resulted in a rewarding ice fishing experience. Between the 5 of us we each caught nearly 40 fish in the day and a half we were there. Not too shabby. We nearly got stuck in a snow storm that dumped about a foot of snow on us overnight while we were up there. The park rangers told us they expected about 1 inch of snow....apparently they use different rulers than we do. It was a great time though. It's pretty sweet have a fish come flying out of a little 6 inch round hole in the ice. Things started out a little slow, but then once we started hooking them up they were flying out of the ice all over the place. It was a great time. Come visit us in Colorado sometime and maybe we can plan a trip out on the ice :-)


The early morning after the storm the skies were clear and it was beautiful.
Check out some of these other pictures from the trip...
