    Man, what a crazy beautiful day out there. Thanks for sharing it with us! Haven't caught brook trout in years, love how aggressive they are towards Rapalas.

    Always like to see them on the sonar when your filming

      I'd really love to upgrade to a sonar screen that has an HDMI port so I could seamlessly record but its about a $2000 upgrade

    I've had some pretty good days at Dog Lk (White Pass) for EBTs too where they just come one after another, they just tend to be fairly small.

      I feel most big Brooks are on the Eastern side of the state. Too much competition with the rainbows they stock at Dog Lake limits growth for Brooks is my guess. Sucks cuz I like ice fishing there lol

    Heading up there tomorrow, will give you a update. Any ideas on where the perch might be and depth.

    Does anyone notice when the sun is out and the ice is making rumbling noise, the bite fall off. 3 days ago it was a great bite and today it was very warm clear. Warm wind. Ice making all kinds of noise. Very slow fishing. Moved all over

    Hey Tyler I’m planning a trip to a buddy’s house next week and was wondering if Palmer Lake had safe/fishable ice and what to expect to catch there because I’ve never fished it before? Thanks for all your content, it’s great!

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  7 годин тому

      No it does not have safe fishable ice

    Hey If I want to go down to Washington ( I live in Vancouver, Canada) what lakes do you recommend for ice fishing and kokanee in the summer? ( the closer the better haha )

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  23 години тому

      I recommend driving to the Cariboo. Great ice fishing and Kokanee fishing in the summer.

    Any ideas on why the brook trout in this particular lake grow so well? Low competition or population density? Seems like brook trout have a tendency to overpopulate and stunt. Thanks

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  День тому

      Low density stocking and a highly productive lake with a lot of weed beds and flats.

      Easy access places do, but most places that require a hike or roads that don’t get plowed seem to discourage most.

    Is it correct to think these are naturally reproducing? I want one at least three pounds for my wall in their late fall spawning colors.....

      They are not. They are stocked.
