I ventured up to Bonaparte for the first ice fishing trip of the year on the lake. I usually hit this lake a couple time throughout the year hoping for Tiger Trout and big Brookies. I normally connect with both species but have yet to connect with a big Tiger. Unusual for this lake I couldn't seem to keep the Rainbow Trout off the line this time and managed to connect with a few smaller Tigers, Kokanee, and Brookies but about 3/4s of the way through the day I finally realized a dream and connected with an absolute stud Tiger. What a great way to kick off the ice season!
