More ice fishing………

Here’s a high tech homemade Canadian ice-fishing rig. Basically a stick of wood, a door stop spring, a wooden dowel and a few cup hooks. I added a bell on the end to wake me up on those drowsy afternoons.

Mike discovers how smokies got their name. Ice fishing isn’t always just fishing. This lunch break was on Clearwater Lake.

Perchmaster asked about Teggau Lake. Here Susanne is coming off the portage trail and along the creek edge…….some current so the ice is thin! Note the result of the forest fire in the background. Teggau Lake is accessed off of Eagle way down by Buzzard Falls. The lake is probably the deepest in the NW region…….over 500 feet!

Perchmaster also asked about those secret ice fishing rigs he sent me. That reminded me to give them a try and hey they seem to work. A pike near the lodge was intent on eating it…..tipped with a minnow.

Some of the “less than jumbo” perch that just won’t leave my jigging spoon alone.

This green and silver Little Cleo seems to work on those “long nosed brown trout”. Good catch Gord!

Thank you very much for making my get a way week so enjoyable. Dan and I had a great time. You and Susanne should be commended on how clean and well maintained your cabins and lodge are.
