Ya its been a while night hawk. You going to come up this year and do a little ice fishing? Southerman is going to give it a shot this year. Don't worry about going through the ice. I'll find out which lake has the killer action and let you know when its got 6" of solid ice.
Anybody else want to see that monster of a fish that Mr. Loopy caught? A first fish is always something to be proud of. Some of my favorite fishing holes have fish that size.

I'll bring the bait and a ice fishing pole. All you got to do is show up and enjoy. You'll be an addict after one good day.

Rick, marabouJigs, and I went up again Saturday and the fishing was slow. I didn't catch one fish at Yankee so after Rick landed a couple decent rainbows we left. Marabou hooked a couple before we got there but thats his story.
We ended up going to Red Creek and fished one decent rainbow and a only a couple bites. Didn't see anybody else catching anything but thats typical for this lake.
This weekend I'm going to see how the brown trout are spawning in Mammoth Creek. Anybody got a good fly pattern for browns this time of year?

I got up there about a half hour before Hedgesd and Rick. I was fishing at the inlet with, the namesake, a 1/16 oz maraboujig. I caught and released4 nice brook trout in 20 minutes. The largest was 16" and was football shaped, it probably weighed close to 2 lbs. They were a little bit sluggish as they are currently spawning. I guess the fish made too much noise splashing around durring the catching process because I attracted the attention of some other fisherman who proceeded to work over to me and cast thier lines directly in front of me. They had a young kid so I relinquished (not too willingly) the spot over to them as ice (that's right ice) limited the fishable area. They ended up catching and keeping several other nice brook trout with worms. The other area that usually holds spawners was under a layer of ice so I only ended up catching 1 more rainbow after that. The ice got me excited though. If it stays cold for another two weeks we'll be walking on water.
