My First Ice Fishing Trip and first report!

[~CK~]

Well Raf took me to up Six Mile Lake with DipLip and some friends this past wknd.. I finally got to get out on the ice for the first time, but all I got was one tiny baby perch! LOL! He was so small I didn't even know he was on the end of my line until I "gave up" and reeled 'er in.. poor thing got hooked in the gill and must have been hanging there for a while because the constant nibbles I had been feeling stopped for about 10 minutes.. I guess seeing a perch suspended vertically scared the rest away hehe.. OOPS!

 

Well, at least I got out. It was a good wknd, except for the FOOT AND A HALF of SNOW that fell overnight!! The boys had to dig out the trucks on Sunday and it took all day.. then the owner of the cottage had a flat tire so we had to wait for CAA to come get him.. but we all made it back alive and well, if not a little worse for the wear. Good food, lots of beer, and a few good people made it all worth while for me. I'm happy I walked across a frozen lake and survived!

 

Can't wait to do it again... um, let's just pay attention to the weather report next time though, ok boys?

 

PS- I took some great pics of the snow, maybe Raf can add them later.

Is Six Mile Lake very far North?

[steverowbotham]

not even 2 hours north of toronto on HWY 69, or 400 extension, not sure.

At least you got out, even if the snow slowed caused some delays.

Some of us were stuck painting kids bedrooms and re-arranging furniture.
