Caught him on a white inch and a half tube jig. Not bad way to start the season. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How about you guys? Anyone on the ice yet? Happy New Year!

Got wind-burned pretty good, but we iced fourteen fish; rainbows and kokanee. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> This was the second (and largest) that I caught. Same lake, same tube jig, slightly smaller (and prettier) fish, 20 1/2 inches. Ted

A friend is moving down from Dawson to Whitehorse and might need some help loading and unloading. I may have to give you a call if the trip materializes... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> SS "To be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

That's just a Canadian trout and the mouth looks odd because they have to contort their lips an awful lot to say "tube jig, eh?" art Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Here's another picture of the same fish. The fish had two very full skeins of milt and a very pronounced kype, similar to what a salmon has when spawning. I know, I know, rainbows spawn in the spring, but this guy was Canadian, eh? Ted

The snow was melting so fast, that when we returned around 9:00 PM half the lake was covered with 3-4" of water. Had to keep the sleds near full-throttle all the way back to the truck. Water flying everywhere. My seven year old grandson thought it was a hoot! Good thing it was warm. Got 16 nice fish. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, poor man's lobster comin' up. Ted
