Hi Jerilyn!

I'll create more, we have a little more ice fishing, then spring trout fishing (it si really nice, here's a shot from last years first day out.

A nice lake, Long Lake in Calabogie Ontario.

There's 1 house one the lake and all the rest is "crown land", here in Canada anyone can camp on crown land for up to 21 days for free.

No facilities, nearest town 25 minutes down the dirt road.

Lake is Accessed by trail or rough road know as Bohmpa's Trail (snowmobile and 4 wheeler trail)

It's deep, rocky, cold and stocked with many very beautiful and sometimes elusive rainbow trout. 

They are almost too pretty to eat, but so delicious (nothing like shore lunch) you just can't resist carving them into a couple nice fillets and frying them up over the open fire.

We got skunked this day, nada! Ate hot dogs roasted on the open fire (always have a back up plan!)  

Fish fries are best gobbled down with a load of home fries on the side, steaming hot.

Here's as far as my car goes there in spring, looking back down trail

My boy and his buddy, mine has the white shirt. Oh the dog too, Bailey 

 

Here's the lake, still has ice and it's late april, 2006 

 

We will have spring trip and this year we have a Peddle Boat now, so look out you Calabogie Rainbows!!

Cheers!

Jason

  

Hello Jason: Thank you for sharing this forum. As you can see from my pic I love fishing too. I have a daughter, age 15 whom I have taught to love fishing from an early age. We really dont have ice fishing here in NJ but we have the mighty Delaware where we catch walleye, trout, catfish, bass, striped bass. Also am lucky to be close to the ocean so we fish there for flounder, striped bass, black fish, lil tuna, really anything that will bite even sharks. Skates are fun to fight with but I have not eaten. I ice fished in New Hampshire as a young boy with my father and I hated it no fish, too cold and only jerky to eat since my Dad had no luck either. Does anyone catch fish ice fishing? I only see it on TV and they probably have a live one in a cooler they put on for show! LOL Thanks again! Scott

Hi Scott,

Did you know you can copy and paste your fishing pics into posts here?

Man you have a vast amount of fishing choices, sounds like fishing year round!

As far as ise fishing goes, we go so close to home, and on the warmer days

(we get a real winter here, most years) so we don't get cold.

Many people have huts with woodstoves, you can leave it there all season.

Easy to make, just plastic and 2 by 4's.

Skid pallets make a nice floor, and put it on runners so it's easy to move around.

There are a lot of 5 pounder walleyes caught this year.

And the odd monster pike comes up (they usually bust off, even with 20 pound line)

So yes, you can get them, but for some reason, my day hasn't come yet!

So come on back , let's see some Delaware trophys!

Dad, I Got a Whopper!

What we really catch here!

My boy got a nice one, worms work excellent!

Enjoy!
