Rainbow day at the Berry 2/25

[Jig-fisher]

I had plans with another BFT member to try out the shuttle service today. That member had something come up and couldn't make it. But another BFT member took his place, although later in the day. With the deep snow I'm glad I had them take me out. I didn't like the later start, but turned out well. 

I started in 12 ft of water and nearly stayed in my original holes all day. Started off fast and furious with 8 fish in the first 45 min with a double at one point. All but one were Cutts up to 19". Then it slowed down with a fish here and there the rest of the day. But those I caught going forward were mostly bows. I ended the day with 23 fish, with at least half of those rainbows. 2 were 18" and had some shoulders on them.  One bow was really colored up and was a beauty. Biggest fish was a 20" cutt.

It has been a couple of years since I last ice fished the Berry. It was a lot of fun. Brought 4 great bows home with me.
