Garfisher Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Just came back from 3rd Year Fish and Wildlife Field Camp, and plenty of ice fishing was to be had at the hunt camp we stayed at for the week. I only fished the main lake, which is stocked with Rainbows and has a small self-sustaining population of Brookies, however other classmates also fished another smaller lake on the property that were stocked with Brookies. Managed to catch 5 Rainbows and a bonus/rare 17" Brookie (totally unexpected considering we only caught one during sampling at fall camp using Fyke nets), and managed to catch the biggest Brook Trout of the week. I held big fish honours for all of 5 minutes with my biggest Rainbow (2nd fish in the pics below, 20.75" long) before my friend caught one that we estimated at approximately 22". All fish were caught on a light power ice rod with 4lb Fireline Crystal, and the lure of choice was a Powerbait Micro Nymph on a 1/8oz Lunker City Fin-S Fish Head (or whatever those jigheads are called).

chris.brock Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 nice rainbows and brookie, that's a great program at Sir Sandford Flemming
Rod Caster Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Nice fish...nice hat. Those rainbows are nice to look at.
Garfisher Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 Nice fish...nice hat. Those rainbows are nice to look at. I've worn that hat almost every day since I got it back in the spring . The rainbows are always fun to catch, real colourful and fight well
Acountdeleted Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Heh. Yep, I do recognize that lake. Same one as when I took 3rd year fish. Does fleming still stock the back ponds with brookies? Also did Dave Preslie tell you any interesting stories about poop?
Garfisher Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 Yes and yes. Preslie also tried ice fishing but John Knight's dogs decided to play keep away with his gloves, worms, and his ice stick or whatever he was using lol
Acountdeleted Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Lmao I can actually see that happening. That just made my day.
fishindevil Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Awesome !!!! Pretty cool when you go to school and end up going fishing !!!! Some dandy trout for sure !!!!!!!
