I took my dad to Rockport Monday and he finally caught a trout through the ice...and it was a chunky 17" rainbow to boot.

I've enjoyed introducing my children to ice fishing, but it was a blast seeing my dad act like a kid pulling that trout onto the ice.

Conditions: 5" slush under 4" new snow. Early in the morning the slush was partly frozen, as the day progressed it thawed. Walking a challenge.

Report: Only caught four trout, no perch on the flasher or camera. Trout cruising through at various depths and were not picky about what we offered.
