After Three Years....Finnally!

[waterninja]

Left Edm. this very early AM and headed to Cold lake in search of Lake Trout. I've only been there once before when we were skunked ice fishing. It was a beautifull day on the water and though it was very slow (dead) for first couple hours, I finnally caught my first Lake Trout. It was below legal keep limit so a few quick pics. and back into the water.
As exciteing as that was, I was also very happy to break a three year losing streak on ice cream bets. Have to thank AO member -J-R whose boat we were fishing from for a great day. My first Laker, and the best tasting ice cream that I can remember eating!
Note.... You can still see a lot of smoke from the forest fire burning to the north of the lake.

I'm gonna go try for my first laker trolling a 3 way swivel rig tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Congrats on your (first?) laker!

I was out there last week and picked up a nice one trolling in 14 fow. It rekindled the laker itch for me so I went out and bought a couple Downriggers for my boat, I'm going to try trolling deep for them. They sure are a fun fish to catch.
