A Day on the Ice

Recommended Posts

Got out for a day of fishing on a small lake south of Minden. Ice conditions were fair with about 4" of solid cover under 12" of snow. Near shore areas were soupy due to water over the ice. The ice is still a thin so be cautious. We thoroughly checked the ice with our chisel as we crossed the lake.

 

We only spent three hours on the ice and moved a couple times. Fishing was good. Lots of short strikes and soft taps. We managed 3 nice rainbows and a couple small perch. Two of the rainbows weighed about 1 lbs and the other was about 2.5lbs. Fish were caught in 15 FOW near bottom. Belly contents showed the fish were eating invertebrates off bottom.
