Frozenover and I headed up to Strawberry for our first ice fishing trip of the year.
With as hard as it was snowing in the valley when we left, we wondered if we could even make it up there.
The roads weren't as bad as we thought they might be.
We had debated about going to Scofield, we thought the roads might be a little better going to Strawberry.
We tried meal worms, night crawlers and minnows. We tried a few different colors of jigs and tails.
The only fish we caught were on minnow chunks with a white grub, right on the bottom.
I only caught two, 20 and 22, James caught 4, one 19 and three 21's.
We saw fish on the finders occasionally, but for most of the day, there wasn't any action.
It was a very slow day.
We made it to the lake at 7:00 am and left at 3:30 pm.
