Ice Fishing for trout on a tip-up
#5
Tip ups will work on Chesterfield, but like has already been stated you will have to down size your hook and then the fish will swallow the bait. On a lake where there is a two fish limit you might be done fast when you figure it out.

Like has been stated I would go with a good jigging rod. For chesterfield 6lb test would be about right if you have a good drag. I prefer green or white paddle bug jigs, tipped with night crawler. At Chesterfield I would set up before light. The trout sometimes bite so light that a spring bobber or other strike indicator is necessary to see the bite. Fish finders really help in the jigging process as well.

Welcome to the state.
