Ice Fishing!

This past weekend, my hubby and I were fortunate to have a day off together and we decided to go ice fishing for this first time this season.  While not a huge success, we each caught a fish and had enough for a yummy supper of fresh trout!

Ben drilled the holes for us.  The ice was about 6" thick, but he was able to punch through to the water without any trouble.

I caught the first fish!!  I nice little rainbow trout.

About 90 seconds after I pulled my trout out of the water, Ben was able to pull out an awesome 20" rainbow.  I don't know which is better, first or biggest?

We had a delicious dinner that night! I just added a little butter and lemon with a few herbs and spices and oven roasted the fish.  Couldn't have been easier and they were oh sooo good!
