I always wondered why you Utah boys started praying for thick ice to cover the mountain lakes of your beloved state every fall. Now I know. During the past MLK weekend I joined BLM, Polokid, and crew, for a fantastic introduction to this absolute insane sport of ice fishing. Making tracks with snowmobiles, drilling holes in 8" of ice, jigging up scrappy cuts, enduring sub-zero temps, was nothing short of awesome! The folks at the Strawberry Marina and Lodge did an excellent job providing great accommodations and equipment. They really went above and beyond standard service to ensure that my stay was perfect!
Pictures say it all:
