Nice fish...WOW!!!
-
I've never fished them through the ice, but I have fished them on a full sink fly line stripping a big old leech pattern along the bottom...and done quite well....so I am sure that if you turn you're jig into a leech pattern it will work.

Nice fish...What a great way to start the year off.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Gary, but glad you were able to share quality time fishing together.
It was great to meet up with Lone Fisher and Glenbow at K Lakes....spent a lot of time on Vancouver Island fishing both salt and fresh water...Caught a nice 20 inch bow on a beautiful Island stream while fishing for sea run cuts and was told by locals even though it was small for a steelhead, in fact that is what it was (my first Steelhead)...Fished the salt for Pinks, and Coho....Pink fishing was not as good as previous years but I still managed to do well....Coho fishing on the other hand was stellar!!! Many fish were caught ranging from approximately 6lb. up to 15 or so lb's....back in Alberta I fished the Bow and caught some very nice browns and bows....I enjoyed meeting and fishing with several board members while on the Bow....the solstice fish out on the Crow was great...fishing was tough but the company was great....my thanks to Lone Fisher and Hawgstoppah and all those that showed up....Gary

Great news....I guess I will have to forgo Bullshead for Police which really isn't a hard thing to do....Sorry Harps

The contests run by DrBulltrout have inspired me to try some different patterns.

Nothing I like better than to hear my reel sing me a song as a nice fish goes for a run!!!!!!

Sage but the new Orvis-Hellios is a fine fine rod.

Bought my first Hardy Marquis back in the early 70's and I now have several ranging in size from 6, 8/9, and a Salmon no.1 all of these reels are at least 20 years old and still work fine, in fact my first Marquis 6 is my go to reel for pink salmon when beach fishing...I now have several other brands but they will be hard pressed to stand up to those old Hardy's.
