Ice Fishing Opener

Happy New Year, everyone!  Yesterday marked the ice fishing opener for most lakes and ponds in northern Maine, and it was the first time in many years that I wasn’t out drilling holes before daylight on St. Froid Lake.  Instead, I was 3,000 miles away in northern Utah, thinking back on memories of opening day ice fishing over the years. 

In the spirit of opening day, I took the time to dig out a few old ice fishing pics from a past opener and post them here.

4 togue, 2 salmon kept, numerous released

Now it’s off to see if I can’t scare up a few trout around here!
