Ice is holding up pretty good. There wasn't any standing water on the lake today which made for the slickest conditions I've ever experienced. It added to the fun.
Fishing was slow for me today. I did manage a few brookies which was a pleasant addition. They had wonderful colors. (Sorry for not having pics). Usually the brooks I've caught here in years past were not a bright and colorful.
Jigging is still helping the bite. At times it seems like the only way to get a bite.
I did have a big fish come grab a Swedish pimple today in about 4 feet of water. I watched the whole thing down my hole. I hooked him, he gave a few head shakes and then got off. He knocked my crawler off in the commotion. He then turned right back around and grabbed the free floating crawler and disappeared. It's not often for me to see a previously hooked fish immediately come back for more action. Good memory other than the not catching it part.
