Had a wonderful time on Current Creek today. We took up the ATV so we could access more remote parts as there is no way I'm dragging a sled by hand from the dam hehe. My new ATV Cargo rack worked pretty darn good (there is another thread here on that). We kept the lighter bulky stuff on it like tackle boxes, chairs, pole holders etc. I think I need to strengthen the hitch mount a bit but otherwise it worked great. We had all our gear on the ATV plus my wife and boy. The ole' tank musta been packing close to 1000lbs yet again
Everything loaded on the honda, heading down to the lake.
The view, it was a beautiful day prior to this evenings storm rolling in, warmed up to nearly 50. Ice was over 11" thick
Wife scored two quick ones right out of the gate. Big Rainbow trout, the larger went 3lbs.
My boy caught the biggest fish of the day, a really nice Cutthroat trout.
The two biggest, the top one was the heaviest, the bottom the longest.
Iced 7, had two break off at the holes. Countless strikes and thrown hooks. Plenty of action! The small 14" one on the right is a Tiger trout, only one we hooked.
Obligatory "Cookie sheet" picture, 4 biggest. Gave one to parents, eating one tonight, smoking the rest.
All in all a fun day to get out and break the cabin fever going on.
