We're looking for whatever bites. :chuckle: None of us has ever ice fished and we want to give it a whirl.

You will see a ton of folks out a ways that are pearch fishing...They use the pearche eyes as bait and pull in tons of them...Looks like fun to catch but im interested in a fat bow or brown.

We were out fishing on the ice and noticed that the water level on the ice kept rising at it kept snowing. Finally realized that there was so much snow it was pushing the ice on the lake down! Decided time to leave!

Coming out there was a snowslide and took us with about 15-20 others 4 hours to hand dig our way out all the while looking up at that steep hillside hoping another one did not come down on us. Adventures afield, good times!
