Ice Fishing Big Rainbow Trout - Calicanuck - 12-20-2014
Was out in Alberta last week and hit a bunch of trout ponds. Heard of some brood stock going into some ponds and decided to give it a try. First night out was my first ice fishing of 2014/15 season and the MarCum was dead! Oh to my dismay I'd be jumping back into to my fishing blind years. So headed to the pond for the evening bite. Drilled a whole bunch of wholes and started jigging around. Took a while but hooked up on a really nice one. Put him back and kept fishing. Before leaving was surprised by a late biter and a fat female. Well that was a great start to my ice fishing season.
A few days later went back after having minimal luck at another pond and the fish were on. Set a deadstick with a jig and powerbait and jigged around. Caught some on my jigging rod and on the dead stick. 5 or 6 in total the second afternoon. Biggest looked to be 20+ inches. Let them all go for another day. Put a couple videos together with tips on exactly what I was doing if you're interested. Get out there and catch some Rainbow trout this early ice season. It's a lot of fun.
