...after our adventure last Saturday (3/2) with the slush and the conditions I know I was pretty much done ice fishing at Strawberry for the year, but I kind of thought you were thinking the same thing!
I admire your perseverance and that is very cool that you got into the Kokanee's! Especially given the conditions, it's truly a remarkable feat!
I wouldn't have been able to get the day off, but even if I could have, I likely would have declined any invitation to go to Strawberry knowing the current conditions. It just confirms what you already knew about me...I'm a fair weather fisherman. I'm even a fair weather ICE fisherman! (...it rarely rains or snows inside my ice shack!)
Again, quite an accomplishment! I've never caught a Kokanee thru the ice yet either, but I think I can wait until next winter to try...

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
