chrisw Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice steelehead browns look to be in nice shape. Killing me . I'm not sure what I want to do more pin or ice fish. Ice is still a bit thin for my liking around here so pin it is until then! Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I'd bet they'd take you into the current and it'd be game over. 7wt would be the lightest I'd go, anything lighter and you can overplay the fish to exhaustion and they won't recover from it.

coonhunter Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I was a young, know it all on Pepacton Reservoir one early spring day. There was still ice on a lot of the water and my buddies and I were fishing minnows under bobbers and night crawlers on the bottom because the water was so cold. A woman came up near us and started throwing a Crocodile spoon, which was a go to bait there in the warmer months. I told her the water was still way too cold for the trout to chase down her spoon, and offered her some of our bait, which she politely refused. She told us, "These are trout. If they are hungry, they will chase these spoons down no problem." We chuckled and let her do her thing. An hour later, we had a few decent browns caught on the minnows, and as expected, she had nothing. Well, a couple minutes later, her real is screaming as line is peeling off with a big fish on. It ended up being a 14 lb. brown. Talk about eating some crow, but it sure was a learning experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knehrke Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Give it a few days. That storm is going to do a number on the ice. I foresee a lot of machines getting stuck, but the snowmobile crowd should be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like lake is all froze over now. Even Oneida creek. Could see at least 30 folks out there off the point. Didn't see any out as far as 109 or 111 but they were out a ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
