Ed with the first fish of 2010, a lovely ice caught Rainbow Trout weighing in at 1lb 10oz. The fish took a maggot baited mormonsk hook whilst it was being jigged in midwater..
Always awaited, the moment the fish comes up through the hole in the ice and you get to see wgat it is you have hooked...
Simon waits it out in harsh winter conditions, scenery stunning today...
My homemade ice fishing rod, put together from an old feeder rod which snapped at the base. No trout fell to this on today though....A nice day out today, it being the first trip of the year For Ed, Jim, Simon and Al, ice fishing for Rainbow Trout at Nedre Rudan. The lake is rather small, though is a good lake for Rainbow Trout, he lake record here is just over 15lb.! Brown Trout and Char are also present in smaller numbers, the Char being difficult to catch. In summer season the presence of Carp, Mirrors and Commons, as well as a small number of Grass Carp and a head of Tench make this venue very interesting indeed.
today though it was Rainbow Trout we were after and Ed duly landed a very nice fish of 1lb.10oz.(3Pts.) after about an hour, a great way to kick off the years fishing. A small Perch to myself was the only other fish taken on a tough day when the fish seemed to be rather inactive, lots of anglers at the lake failing to catch today.
