We have had a lot of good ice fishing traffic, and as many of you know I am almost an exclusive ice fisherman, so I was wondering what are either some of your most extreme ice fishing experiences, or locations to fish.
To me an extreme location involves one or more of the following criteria:
1. You have a real chance of being stuck for 30 minutes or more, because your access road is not maintained.
2. You need to haul snowmobiles, as it is a five plus mile journay to the location.
3. You need to bring a change of clothes, due to the amount of sweat coming off your body while dragging your 75+ pounds of gear to a far off point. You do not have to reveal your point[
] For some of us this even happens at Rigby Lake[
]
As far as my coolest remote spot for me it would have to be Bloomington Lake; as it fits categories 1 and 3. One day I would like to get to Paul Res., but the late Henry's Lake season has altered this goal.
As far as physical hardship Pali
es would be my personal demon. I usually bring the lanterns and camping gear and I go quite aways out. Considering the first step, and sometimes deep snow while carrying quite a bit of gear this is to me a great physical challenge. Plus you need to know how to fish Palies.
Feel free to share!
