First Ice Lake Trout Cold Lake
 
I was finally able to make it out on the main lake last week and seen 6-7" of ice off the marina. In french bay a few days before I had seen anywhere from 5-9". I imagine the Cold over the weekend helped push those numbers up a little but the wet snow we got yesterday is going to hurt future growth. Like I've said before if you're heading out use caution that fresh snow will have hidden a lot of the heaves and cracks out there.

The Fishing was sporadic throughout French Bay last week run and gun produced a decent day of fishing as did camping out at the point and picking them off as they came through. I finally made it out to the marina where I found a nice school of hungry trout willing to cooperate before I had to head back to work

Once again thank you for the support and I hope you enjoy!

Mat another great vid for us to enjoy...like the fact that you share locations, what works etc..that's what makes the vids as you and I both know that it might work one day and then a complete different presentation/location is required the next...keep'em coming and tight lines.

Sonar
 
I was wondering same thing. What sonar unit are you using. I’m a fishing electronics dummy. My kids are constantly telling me without electronics we will never catch a Cold Lake Trout. I have been there 7 times and I catch 1 by fluke.

Any help would be great appreciated.
