Lake Trout Ice Fishing
03/24/21 • 33 min
1 Listener
Kevin Kossowan and I head out to the Rocky Mountains in mid March to backpack, camp and ice fish for the elusive Lake Trout of Spray Lakes. Kevin filmed episode 1 of season 8 of his award winning series, From The Wild; and, then we recorded enough material for a decent little Food Afield podcast episode! Fishing for Lake Trout, and especially ice fishing for them is a difficult process at Spray Lakes. Actually, the process itself isn’t what is hard, being successful at harvesting any fish in this lake is the real problem. But, we seemed to figure it out near the end of the trip, in true fashion for most of our outings.
