Ice fishings greatest hits

Most of the time when winter roles around everything tends to slow down and people seek shelter to get in out of the cold. I guess you could say people who are normal that is. On the other hand their are the strange or better yet weird few who venture out to see what the world has to offer on those bitter cold winter days in the Rockies. As we have come to find out there is plenty of room on frozen lakes just waiting to be filled up with those of us who dare to be stupid. But as you can see we do alright walking out on to frozen water just to wet a line and hook a few trout. I thought it might be a good idea to share some photos of our experiences so folks who don't get the chance to give ice fishing a try might just change their minds. Ice fishing as you can imagine is a little different from the lazy summer days wading through a stream or even hanging out by the local pond in hopes of landing a nice one for a little excitement before cracking a cold one. In this case you are the cold one waiting as patiently as passable for some sort of movement on the rod tip rather then the wind that is howling across the frozen tundra bouncing your pole around so much that every move is suspect.But it's not just ice,wind and snow also you can look forward to warm sunshine BIG trout and not to be forgotten a few fish tales that can rival the best of them.I am almost looking forward to next season for a few more trips. I am hoping to add a few more fishing trips to my blog from the summer when ice rods get packed away and the fly rod sees the light of day. If I am lucky maybe I can catch a few like these to post.
