Went "fly" fishing today through the ice. Caught a 22 inch pike on 2 pound test and a number 14 ice fly (char green rabbit body, black soft hackle weighted). Eight inches of ice in the greater Ludington area now! Light snow with a 15 mph west wind, temperature around 10 degrees Farenheight. Winter steelheading is even out of the question in this stuff.
No change in the weather coming for a week-looks like tying,rod wrapping, and ice fishing! --- Chris Broomell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey everyone.
