Ice

Ice

   The ice is starting to form around some of our lakes.  Unfortunately, it's going to warm up, so it will go away....but very, very soon......we'll be ice fishing.

High

   High pressure  had moved in, so fishing is a little  slow.  We managed to catch two meals worth of crappie,  perch, and bluegill.   Beautiful  day to be fishing  on big D  Lake.

Snow

   There was a slight break in the weather, to do a little  crappie  fishing, at a near-by lake.  We caught, several  meals worth, before  it started to rain again.  Up above us, there was snow on the hill.  Looks like we may be ice fishing  early,  again.

Tiger Muskie

      Tom caught a beautiful, 35" tiger muskie on an ultra-light fishing rod and a crappie jig.  He was crappie fishing, when this one took the line.

     Beautiful morning to go trout fishing, up here in North Idaho.  Caught our limit, quickly.

     We wanted to try a closer lake for Mackinaw.  There is one, just on the other side, in Montana.  We caught two small ones, I heard the larger ones are down deep, right now. 

Finally

     It is finally cool enough for the fish to start biting.  This has been an unusually long, dry, hot summer for North Idaho.  We went to one of our usual fishing holes and caught enough crappie for supper.
