I've been trying to get out every weekend as time and weather allows. It's been a good way to get through the long winter. I took a buddy out a couple of days ago to a lake I've only fished once for pike. This time we were targeting char and trout. We didn't slay them or catch any big fish, but ended up catching four char, same for rainbows, and one burbot. Nice day on the ice!

Beautiful fish… well except for the burbot.

It’s been a warm winter here. Hopefully the colder temps we have right now will last long enough to make ice.

May not be pretty, but far better eating than any walleye!

I just started ice fishing last year, so very much a novice. I haven't been out yet this year, but will be going out this coming week for Walleye and Pike.

No. Quit years ago.

The uglier the fish, the better it eats, they say. Trout are pretty, burbot are not.

I used to ice fish a bunch but we have had horrible ice this year. Lots of people have been stranded on ice that broke away from shore or fell through. I am sitting this year out. I am hoping the sub zero temps this week will finally make the Beaver ponds safe to get out on. I fell through 4 days in a row and finally quit for a while.

It is the only freshwater cod. And it is a real cod.

I'm making my first outing tomorrow; haven't had any ice yet this winter until this weekend. It was still a bit too thin today, but it's putting on ice fast now.

Burbot tacos, but I’m still not sold on them being better than walleye.

Hoping local ice is good to go in the next couple days, I’ve had to travel to fish this year.
