Went to Bear Lake to ice fish it for the first time. Went with polo kid and we both took our wifes. Polo's wife likes the outdoors and has been ice fishing for sometime now, for my wife it was her first trip ice fishing. We rented a condo and and headed up Sunday Afternoon. Got there in time to fish for about 2 hrs and no luck. Went back to the condo and had fondue elk and deer from last Oct kill. Yum Yum
Day 2 headed out early. My wife Jenie was the first to catch a fish and sure enough it was a 6lb Mac. Kodac Moment. It was the only Mac that was caught on the trip but was worth it to see how she reacted to catching the fish. It was pretty funny, people heard her screaming from half way across the lake. I ended up landing 2 cuthroats, so it was pretty slow fishing, yet a very memorable trip.
Happy for the wife, but ironic that I have been out 8 times this year ice fishing and she has caught the big fish for the year on her first and only time. I guess thats how it always goes for first timers. Maybe she's the better fisher of the two of us.
