First ice trip of the season 2009-10

Jon's beautifully colored rainbow trout was the prettiest fish of the day on this trip to Scofield Reservoir. He took some pictures for the Big Fish Tackle ice fishing contest.

We literally walked on water this day, as slick as the ice was. Good thing we had our ice cleats on our boots! The reflections made it look wet, but it was 6 inches of hard clear ice. It was popping and zinging all day. Jon figures we caught about 100 trout in 5 hours, which sounds about right. We were busy continually.
What a great way to start the season!
