Trout in the Wrangells
« on: February 09, 2003, 08:32:28 AM »
Yesterday I headed up into the Wrangell Mountians and snowmachined back into a lake to ice fish. Beautiful day. Sunny, light wind and temperatures in the 30's.

We fished about 6-10 feet of water using shrimp, ice fishing jigs laced with strips of herring and flies.  I limited out with 10 - 15"-20" rainbows and our group of three ended up with 26 fish.

What a great day up here in Alaska. The ice was only 12" thick, normally it is 4' this time of year. :grin:

Went up to the lake yesterday - wide open water as far as I could see. I might roll my skiff over, even put it in the water!  Glad to hear you got out and caught some fish.  Just realized I need to get my 2003 hunt fish and trapping licenses before I do anything.
