On Saturday I went ice fishing with my neighbour Folke. The snow is very deep and it was not easy to travel with snowmobiles.
It was 12kms to the lake where we intended to fish and once we arrived there we started boring holes in the ice to fish through.
After only a few minutes of fishing (using a worm and a piece of shrimp for bait) Folke caught an Arctic Char!
I was fishing with my Reindeer horn fishing rod
It took a little longer for me to catch my first fish; a Rainbow Trout
We made fire and cooked some coffee
We then continued fishing. Folke caught 2 Arctic Char and I caught 2 Rainbow Trout and 1 Arctic Char.
Hi Kevin,
Nice work. I’m salivating just looking at those fish
Great to see a bushcraft project that is not just an academic exercise but one that has been put to practical – and successful – use too.
Thanks for sharing.
All the best,
Paul
Thanks Paul.
Your ice fishing rod looks just like the ones we make from wood around here. I have to getinto the shed and knock some of them out for the season
