Went out with my buddies for the first trip of the season this year. Thought we should do some trout fishing since I had never been before and my three friends had never ice fished. Ended up fishing all morning in one spot and we only caught one small rainbow. So we packed up and were going to go to another lake for the afternoon but my buddy convinced us to stay and go to this back bay on the lake. Wow! I was glad we stayed!
Between the four of us we ended up nailing 25 rainbows and 1 brown trout in 3 hours! Nothing big but it was a lot of fun. We were fishing in super shallow water and you could sight fish for the trout through the hole. Ended up hole hopping all afternoon and had a blast!
Here are some pictures and a short video from the trip
