Rainbows and sunshine

My bud Ian and I hit a small Rainbow lake in search of some action, we did manage to hook up but the bite was less than we had hoped for.
When they do hit it's pretty exciting and even for smaller fish they fight pretty good. Still driving into a back lake and spending a day on the ice in the sun makes for a pretty enjoyable time.







Ian was able to hook up with a nice 'bow, hopefully our next hunt will be more active.

Evening walleye bites can be exciting, fast and furious, as we found out on a January weekend.
With my buds Jm and Bruce, we hiked out to a grassy edge and settled in for a night bite, we were not let down.

With a lead up of steady  perch action, the walleye started to bite almost on cue, almost as if someone had rung the dinnerbell.


We hooked into about a dozen or more and released about half back to swim again. Jm had an unfortunate thing happen as he left his one rod unattended and heard some commotion, only to turn and see his rod disappear down the hole, quickly.


 I would have liked to have seen that fish.

Awesome time on the ice with some friends and we even were treated to an amazing sunset.
