Last week I took Mike and his wife Laura ice fishing for their first time! We went to Strawberry Reservoir as I did really well the week before. We returned to Lunker Cove in hopes of catching more good sized trout!
The day started off pretty slow but by mid morning we got into some good sized rainbows! Mike caught this fat rainbow.
Mike continued to catch fish after fish while Laura waited for her chance to catch a fish too.
Finally Laura started catching fish too! The bait we used was a small glow in the dark tube jig tipped with a piece of a worm.
Before we knew it, Mike and Laura were able to keep a total of seven good sized rainbow trout to take home for dinner. This trip we only caught two cutthroat trout but they were both good sized fish! We released both cuts back to the lake.
JOE'S TIP OF THE DAY
Before you leave to go fishing, check to make sure you put your fishing pole(s) in the car. On this trip, we drove all the way to Strawberry Reservoir before we realized Mike and Laura forgot their fishing poles! Mike and Laura used my two fishing poles. Instead of not fishing, I tied fishing line to a stick. This method proved to still be successful!
