Well we said goodbye to Alberta last night and on the way home stopped outside Kamloops at Edith lake. There is probably a good 7 to 8 inches of ice, minimal snow and a bunch of people out. Probably got out on the ice around 230. Bright and sunny air temp around 0 degrees C, no wind. So the kids came out including Eavenly for her first time ice fishing. Plopped in two jaw jackers on jigging bases for the girls and drilled a pile more holes. The other fishermen were scattered around the edges and didnt seem to be catching much but I found the fish in 16 to 20 feet of water. First fish was on Sierra's jaw jacker. She was sitting beside it when it popped up so I figured she tripped it. As I was walking over to reset it she was reeling up the rod and I noticed it was bent over with a fish on the other end. She reeled in this nice little brook trout on the Atomic Waxworm from @backcountrytackle. You can see it hanging there. After the sun went over the hill the kids walked back to the truck with mom and I stayed out. That's when the fish got active and I pulled in 6 or 7 rainbows while everyone else was leaving the lake. Not bad for a quick stop.
