I am fairly new to Chironomid fishing and fly fishing. Still figuring out how on earth you can cast 30 feet of leader. So I brought along the spinning rods which made it a little easier for me a novice in deep water. But now I realize that all I need for the leader is 12 to 20 pound flourocarbon so that I can cast. This spring I'll rig the rods up a little better so I can get on the chironomid action with the fly rods.

I lost so many fish this day. Was missing all the quick takes. Still managed to hook up with a few for a little fight and landed a few. Some were not on camera, but what can you do. Thought I would put this video out since it seems people are pretty done with the whole ice fishing deal.

There are plenty of small lakes to fish like this in the interior of BC. All stocked with different strains of trout.
