Spent the day on a backcountry pond ice fishing for brook trout. Had a great day and an even better cook-up over an open fire.
Ice fishing gear is highly specialized. An ice saw, ice auger or chisel is used to cut a circular or rectangular hole in the ice. The size of the hole depends on the type of fish sought, generally suggested is 8 inches (20 cm). Power augers are sometimes used. If these tools are not available, an axe may be used to chop the hole. A skimmer, a large metal spoon with holes in it, is used to remove new ice as it forms and to clear slush left from making the hole. During colder periods most ice anglers choose to carry a heater of some type. The heater is not only for warmth but also for keeping an angler's fishing hole from freezing. When temperatures fall to -20 °F (-29 °C) or colder it becomes very hard to keep a fishing hole open.[1]
Three main types of fishing occur. The first is using a small, light fishing rod with small, brightly coloured lures or jigs with bait such as wax worms, fat heads or crappie or shiner minnows. The angler sits at the hole in the ice and lifts the pole every now and then, producing the jig effect.
An ice fisher cuts a hole into the ice with an ice saw. An ice auger and snow shovel is visible in the foreground.
The second is using tip-ups, which are made of wood or plastic, and have a spool of line attached, with a thin piece of metal that goes from the spool to the flag. Black line is put on the spool and a swivel is placed at the end of the black line. Then a piece of fishing line with a hook is attached to the swivel. Worms, power bait, grub worms or small minnows are placed on the hook. The hook with bait is placed into the water under the ice. The depth that the bait is placed goes according to several theories. One theory is the bait is placed one meter under the ice. The second is that the bait is placed two to three metres under the ice. The third is that the bait is suspended one foot (30 cm) above the bottom of the lake. When the fish strikes the bait the flag is lifted which notifies the angler that a fish is on the hook. The angler pulls the line in and the fish fights. The angler will allow the line to slip through their hands during the struggle. Finally, when the angler can get the fish's head into the hole in the ice, the fish is quickly lifted onto the ice. This allows for less-intensive fishing.
The third method is spear fishing. A large hole is cut in the ice and fish decoys may be deployed. The angler sits in a dark ice shanty called a dark house. The angler then peers into the water while holding a large spear which has four or five points. A line can be attached to the points. The fisher waits for fish to appear, then plunges the spear into the water. This method is often used for lake sturgeon fishing. In the United States many states allow only rough fish to be taken while spear fishing.

Video quality is great. What camera are you using?
Sorry I got to finish watching. That damn GoPro!! Lol
My grandfather loved Janis. Every time I hear that song it brings a tear to my eye. He would bring out a bottle of southern comfort and listen to her music. He was a scotch guy. When he brought out that soco you knew what kind of night it was going to be

Terrible winter so far buddy. Big dump of snow coming tomorrow though.
Cool looking forward to watching it 👍🔥🐟
Awesome video buddy !
Thanks Keith !
Nice lunch you had there.
GoPro drive me nuts with their batteries. I bought an GJI Osmo last year and the battery live is 5 time longer even in cold temperatures.
Great video buddy.
Thanks buddy ! I'll be looking for a new camera this year for sure !
Great video buddy
Thanks bud !
Troy it's great to see you finally got a day out ice trouting. Nothing like a day in the woods nice and peaceful. Be careful on the ice bud we never had no big amount of hard frost to put alot of ice in the ponds. Enjoy your day in the country you and lukie give lukie some trout lol I'm sure he will enjoy. Stay safe bud take it easy.
Thanks Colin I shared my steak and Trout with lukey but that was some of the footage I lost 😪
Still a good vid even with the camera issues and lost footage Troy. I think Go-Pro needs to work on their cameras working in the colder weather. Lukey is too cute when he's all bundled up on the chair!!! Cheers.
Thank you, appreciate that !
its a spud according to your dad, nice fish
Love this video. Keep up the great work Troy! Great trout
Good stuff
Thanks Todd !
Awesome shore lunch, never caught a trout through the ice. We don't have a lot of trout lakes in Michigan. Bad year for ice fishing this year. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah buddy gotta be really careful here with the ice conditions.
You are the man, Troy! I enjoy your adventures tremendously! Looks like you wore out Lukey this time.
Haha yup he was pretty tired. Thanks Jeff !
Well on your way to 20k !....Good for you brother, well deserved sir 👍
Thanks buddy !
What's that strange white stuff covering the ground? Lol. We have 51°F and sunny here in Michigan, even got the motorcycle out this past weekend. Sure has been a strange February for sure. Good to see ya out buddy.
Weird winter overall but we have a big storm coming tomorrow. Might head to the cabin for a couple days 😉
@@13prevailbushcraft That would be epic! I've always enjoyed the view you have at the cabin, throw in a nice snow storm and a crackling fire...... pure food for the soul!!
19.7 thou subs. Awesome👍👍
Thanks bud !
I cooked up some Walleye the other day. Best tasting fresh water fish in Manitoba.
Never had walleye before.
👍🏼
👋😎👍
Nice video, I found the dog is cold.
He's ok. Thanks for watching !
Given my success rate at unfrozen water, I can only imagine the dismal results I'd have with even more challenging circumstances. I'm sure it's still a nice way to experience the outdoors nonetheless.
I enjoyed the video.
Thank you Joe !
Last year there was -40 weather, I planed this year snow shoeing but ghete hardly any snow, it's rained
Crazy weather everywhere man !
Hey Troy I was watching your summer fishing trip the other day and you were using your fly rod and spin cast at the same time which I recently learned was illegal in Newfoundland just to let you know. You are only allowed to use a single rod while trout fishing in summer.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to remember that !
That was great Troy 👍🏻
I've been having footage recovery issues as well 😕
It sucks man. Thanks for watching buddy !
Nothing like The Great Outdoors fish or no fish it's always great to get to The Great Outdoors tell the next time🦞🦞
Thanks Robbie !
