resolution-ing in 2018 [4]

I just wanna go on more adventures.

Adventure led me to the ice, after dark. I went on my first real ice fishing excursion to an undisclosed location.....I think it was a test from my fearless guide to see if I would leak the secrets.....I'm gonna pass the test.

I was informed it was a slow night, but I was just excited to catch fish. No monsters, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I never understood ice fishing....lets put on every layer we own, go sit out on the ice and shiver for a few hours and call it fun.....well ice fishing doesn't have to be like that. I was outfitted with a chair, a heater blowing in my face, a hut roof over my head, a beer in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.I didn't even have to wear gloves most of the night. As the saying goes, "Don't knock it 'til ya try it."

And just like that it was 11:30 and we were packing up to head home. I couldn't believe how fast 6 hours just flew by. I found myself saying...."just one more, then we can go".....just one more.

Burbot are eel-like, predatory fish that were illegally introduced into southwest Wyoming waters. The look like a cross between a catfish and an eel, taste like lobster....known as "the poor man's lobster" and are posing a big risk to native fish throughout the Green River drainage.
