First Ice Fishing Trip

My friend Josh and I went ice fishing up to Echo Reservoir yesterday.  It was a good day.  It started out at 9 degrees and warmed up to around 35 degrees by the time that we left.  I caught 3 the biggest being 18" and the other two were 12".  Josh caught a few also and his two boys that came with us actually caught more than we did.  It was fun to get out and catch some fish through the ice again.

The Boulders

Labor Day weekend I had the opportunity to go up to the Boulder Mountains with my Brother and his Family to do some fishing.

 Donkey Reservoir

 Donkey was full of 12" fish that hit every time I casted.  It was blast to be up there.

 This fish is beautiful.  It put up a good fight  as well.

 Donkey Reservoir.  We went here Friday night after we got situated.  It was close enough to get  a couple hours of fishing in.

 The first fish of the morning.

 Nice glassy lake first thing in the morning.  Seeing this had me itchin to get the float tube pumped up and out on the water.

 A 13" boulder brookie with beautiful colors.  These mountain lakes are known for there Brook Trout.
