Hit the Gorge over the weekend for the first time with some friends. I have to give a big thanks to those who were willing to provide information to help make our first trip a success.
Our Plan was to leave Friday Afternoon and make it to the Gorge before dark. Well we were a little late getting on the road and we arrived with the wheelers in tow after dark. We got the gear loaded in the sleds and headed out on the ice in search for a place to fish. The wind was blowing a bit and it didn't take to long for us to pick a spot and get set up. Caught a burbot on the first drop down the hole so we settled in for a long night of fishing. Landed 25 total burbot and lost a few right at the hole. Once morning came the fishing slowed right down and we tried taking short nap. THe nap turned into a few hours of lost prime fishing time and we were woke up by the CO going around checking licenses. Sounded like we were one of the only groups in the area doing well at catching. Around 11 I headed out to deeper water in search for some lake trout. End the day with a few rainbows and one laker added to the catch.
Again a BIG THANKS to those who provided us with some information.
