nice! wish i could go fishing now, but its too cold =/
You live in ice fishing for trout head quarters, bundle up and quit complaining. Drive to any one of the river mouths on Lake Michigan and look in the harbors ;).
 
We've been fishing pyramid lake about once a week...wish it wasnt a 2 hour drive each way or we'd fish it much more. Nothing crazy...just cold...freezing eyelits on your rod. But we have been catching the average 20-23" cutthroats. Still waitin to catch the elusive 10# plus.
 
Nice trout guys. I am from nh were trout fishing is one of my favorite hobbies. No i live on the coast in south carloina and no fresh water down here. I do miss it. Trout fishing and large, and small mouth bass fishing. Guess i had to trade a few things not to have 2 foot snow storms in the winter.
 
Got out on the ice for rainbows, it was ****ing cold -27c and snowing hard but not bad in the shelter with the heater. got three two on sliver spoons and one on the tip up with some power bait.

i agree i love watching the strike and to see then come in, nose up to your lure then it is up to you to get the bite. i need a bigger blade on the auger the 8" is not enough.
i caught two nice males today that i let go and my roommate got two as well. the larger one i caught hit hard three times i kept screwing up the hook set but he really wanted it. it was a nice day to be out on the ice
