I didn't ice fish this year... usually i fish several times a week.... but my wife committed suicide in December.....i really couldn't get out.
Hopefully spring will be better.
I'm not a big fan of rainbow trout....I keep probably one nice steelhead a year and smoke it.... But perch and walleye (sauger too!)
Are about as good as it gets...
Yeah I took a screen shot and sent it to a friend who knows his fish he wasn't sure... But I think it has an adorable adipose fin as well. The mouth is kinda big but I'm used to fishing Lake Superior whitefish..... There's a lot of different species....
I actually beleive it may be some form of whitefish or herring.... Did it have a fin here.
If yes then it's a whitefish.... They are related to the salmon and have that fin by the tail on their back....
I'll see if I can find a better picture but this is a whitefish.... Smaller mouth... Different fins.... And really silver..... The scales fall off easily too
No neither of these were ever used.
The spinning reel still had the original Stren 12lb test on it.... According to the sticker.
I'm just kinda holding them.... They might now be worth much now.... But realistically it's not like they make them anymore.... And the ones out there.... How many are...
There aren't any words on it.This Fly reel was originally $7This reel you is brand new.... No price tag. But neither reel have been used before. Both still have the instructions in the box too I don't know.... Just held on to this stuff.
Could just be worthless junk.
But I thought it was kinda cool.
I actually have some old stuff ...a nice old metal tackled box.....a old automatic fly reel and a old spinning reel still in the box with the price tag. It was from a Gamble's store.... Don't even remember Gamble's still being a store in my lifetime and I'm 55
It's all relevant.....I just prefer to sit in a shack in the ice... Relax.
Listen to some radio.
I don't like to fish alone much though.
I do.
But much prefer to hang out with a friend in the ice..... Having a good shack with comfortable seating and heat is the ticket .
Been to busy to fish....... Snow is now on the ground and my plow truck still needs attention.... But we will have Ice soon ...... My favorite type of fishing.
