It was another early start today. I was heading up to a nearby frozen over lake to meet up with some friends for a little ice fishing. On the way, the sky started looking promising for a nice sunrise, so I pulled over and waited to see what would happen. I was late to meet up for the fishing, but it was totally worth it! The sky exploded with some intense oranges. The color did not last long at all. I shot a few photos, then hopped back in my car and headed to the fishing...
It was a great day on the ice. My fishing guide friend Blake, of Pisces Outdoors put us on the right spot. Our group caught about 25 fish total, I personally caught about 5. They were all rainbow trout, except this brook trout below. Brook trout are incredibly rare at this lake, so it was a lot of fun to see!
Here was one of the decent sized rainbow trout that I caught.
One of my friends brought his two sons. They are incredibly good fishermen for their age. I think that they caught the most fish.
The boy's dad is a professional chef (Tahoe Dinner Bell). He brought and warmed up some pulled pork sandwiches. It was unexpected but oh so good!!! There was plenty of meat, I even got to take some home. Oh, and I took one trout home for my dinner tonight...
Lots of smiles today! I hope you are all having a great day too.
