This Morning's Photo and Fishing Adventure

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.

Ice fishing sounds like fun.
I agree that your friend's son would make a great fisherman.

Ice fishing is usually pretty relaxing. But we were catching so many fish, it was non-stop action today! Tons of fun.
Yup, they are on their way!

Awesome photo 😍 lots of layers. The clouds of course but then the mountains with good light, the lower fog/clouds, the lake. Excellent. Your trout fishing makes me jealous. Its free ice fishing day in Vermont. Once a year on the last Saturday in January, you can ice fish without a license. But my local lake is not frozen over 🙄

I was super happy to start the day off with that unexpected sunrise. A good omen..
Most of the lakes around here are not frozen over this year... But that one is at a very high elevation. I'm glad we have it as an option.

I miss fishing with my son, especially when he was that age (he's 23 now). It's so fun to watch them learn and get excited when they reel one in!

The ability to fish can be useful at any age.

I know they say there is no bad weather only bad clothing, but I really wonder how you manage to stay out there for so long fishing and having a great time! You definitely have my respect :) Kids look super cute and excited!
And the first photo is magic!

Yes, multiple layers of clothing... Thick socks. Hot tea. And a bit of adrenaline.
Tons of fun fishing with my buddy's kids!
And yup! I was incredibly happy to start my day with that magical sunrise.

They were a ton of fun to watch. They were both naturals, but I think the youngest is going to be addicted to fishing when he grows up. Welcome to the club...

It's so much fun on an adventure when a person goes out with their friends and catches fish like this. This place is really very wonderful.
