Ice fishing premier

[Fenlander]

Last Saturday was the premier for ice fishing in one of the lakes in our village.
My 10 year old daughter was the first to catch a fish after just 5 minutes. An Arctic Char. I also caught 2, but mine were under the limit of 35cms, so I had to put them back.

Well done to your daughter showing dad how to do it

The way you've got your rod set up looks interesting. I take it that's a way to set the hook automatically when you get a bite?

 

[Fenlander]

Yes it is Mesquite. The fishing line goes over the screw at the end, prior to going down into the ice hole.

Cool ( see what I'd there ) I'll have to try that

Fantastic! Something I’m eager to get involved with is ice fishing. Arctic char is an awesome species too! Well done!
