It was great getting out to fish with you again Kent. Sorry we missed the honey hole but it turned out ok down wind of it.
Fishing was pretty mixed with hits coming all over the water column. For me the actual takes were mostly from 5 to 20 feet from the ice. A few came off the bottom but only with very active jigging - the dead stick technique would not work for me, so I was basically fishing only one rod. Catching was good with most cuts and bows in the 18 - 22 inch range. One cut and one rainbow were about 14-15 inches.
I Caught the most beautiful rainbow I have seen in my life yesterday. It was about 24 inches and the most amazing shimmering iridescent Maroon and Dark Burgundy wine color.
All in all a pretty good day of fishing to wrap up the ice season - for me anyway.
