BaySport on Ice!

[BaySport]

01/12-01/14 Was fortunate enough to get an invite to spend MLK weekend on Strawberry Res. in the cold mountains of Utah. My Bro BLM set it all up. The three days were spent making tracks with snowmobiles, drilling holes in 8" thick ice, and jigging up scrappy cuts. We enjoyed sub-zero conditions, with lows reaching -25.

Snowmobiles and shelters make up the fish camp.

A nice 23" cut. Gloves and hood does not stay off long!

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]We had a good time! It's more than just fishing. It's an adventure. Sometimes a little more adventurous than I like it. Falling through the ice on that pressure ridge was a bit extreme for my liking but everything worked out.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Glad you made it up to finally try the "other" type of fishing. It offers a whole new aspect to just going fishin'.[/size][/black][/font]

BaySport...what can I say...those are amazing pics. I can't believe I was complaining about the cold from my last trip. Now you're trip....that's cold!!!

Call me stupid but I always think that when you fish on a frozen lake, the fish will come up frozen too. Sounds like a great trip. Glad you had a blast.

Best regards,

Paul
