Another small improvement rainbow, American Falls Saturday, blue slush bug tipped with mealworm. Getting my shoulder operated on in the morning, and the doc says I can't ice fish for a minimum of two weeks. With our March like weather, this could be my last post for the contest this year. Fished my heart out for the past four days to get my ice fix. Still wishing I was going out tomorrow. Also, after seeing hooknhunter's post about deadwood, I feel there might be a new Murphy's law at work. While engaged in the ice fishing competition, your fishing partners will always catch the biggest fish through the ice. Three of my buddies have caught rainbows over 24" with me fishing in a hole less than ten feet away this winter. Had one on Saturday hit me and break me off while I was daydreaming in the shack with the pole in my hand, then hit my buddy three feet away two seconds later and he landed it. Makes for a great time though!
