I convinced Matthew to go back to Henry's Lake this morning for a try at ice fishing.  We improvised ice fishing poles out of the top half of a couple of poles, pieces of plastic pipe, and hose clamps to hold the reels.  We found some old jigs and power bait in a tackle box.  We used our ax to knock ice out of yesterday's holes.  We took turns watching the jig through the hole in the ice to know when a fish would take it.  Matt watched the 14" brookie he's holding hit the jig.  I watched the 16" cutthroat hit it.  Watching the trout circle and attack was like watching sharks attack on TV.  So much fun!  Now we need a recipe to cook them...
