Today Payette! - Tazasorus - 02-01-2021

Drove all the way to McCall to go after Lakers today. Not a soul out there just me. Pristine from last snowfall. Spent first two hours cutting trail with my snowshoes. Would drill a hole every 100 yards making sure it was safe. Went out about a half mile. 120 to 150 feet deep. Had my rods stretched about 100 yards apart. Had one hit my jawjacker and flip it like 4 feet in the air losing a 100 dollar rod and reel down the hole. 10 minutes later i not only hooked the line, but i got my rod back and the fish was still on. 152 feet deep in that hole, pretty lucky. I only landed four small ones..only a half dozen bites all day. Ice was about a foot thick. Here are a few pictures

Now that is a great story and pics, pretty amazing you got your rod setup back and the fish, especially in water that deep. That is some deep snow from the looks of it. I know you said they were small fish but what size is the one in your pic?

They were in that 22 to 24 inch range

Looks like a great day. Very cool to get your rod back with the fish still attached.
