Spooning Brookies on Ice

Got on on the very early ice this year fishing in the interior of British Columbia on November 10th for stocked brook trout. The fish were very aggressive and feeding heavily on this bright sunny day. It was my luck to hit it so well and catch a lot of brook trout including some very nice sized fish. The biggest went 17 inches which was my new personal best brook trout. I have never really fished them much before moving to British Columbia though. So far I absolutely love early ice brook trout fishing. They are super aggressive and will hit a variety of presentations. One that I find to work best is a small spoon with lots of jigging action to bring them in and then slow things down or raise the lure slowly to entice bites. Here is the action and tips from my second day on the ice of 2017/2018 season. I hope you enjoy, I sure had a blast out there. One of my best days ice fishing for sure!
