I fished most days right next to a bunch of old retired men who fishes Ririe almost every day during the winter. We had a great time between the kokanee runs. Here one of them lands two kokanee at the same time by fishing with two hooks. I tried that, but spent too much time untangling my line.
Here my son-in-law lands a trout that he caught on Ririe. Right now it is very good fishing and the ice is about six inches deep. As you can see, it was snowing very heavy as we were fishing.
My Kokanee set-up is to have a flasher about eight inches above a jig tipped with bait. One man was doing very well catching perch by putting the jig tipped with bait within three inches of the flasher.

Two blogs! I don't fish but I'll check on your adventures over here periodically.
(But I do find the orange font for comments and links very hard to read against the pretty blue background).
Cheers!
I just found this great Fishing Blog.
Sound very exciting fishing from the hole. ;)
What a great way to fish.
I reread your profile. How did you get abut publishing your two books? I wrote a fiction, but find it hard getting publishers,
Bill: Sounds like you had plenty of fish to keep you busy.
Great looking fish. What fun it must be. It's been so cold here the fish are safe from me!
It's awesome that fishing lures people out into the winter weather to experience Nature in all its elements. It looks like you all had fun for sure.
Enjoy all that you perceive.

Brother Schiess Glad to have found your fishing Blog. Loved hearing your fishing tales in school. Now I can read them and learn. Thanks for the awesome distraction from my school work.

We love to fish here in Hawaii, but it takes less clothing, LOL.
Aloha, Friend!

must be fun!
Hi Bill. You've started very interesting blog here. I'm a salt water fly fisherman hailing from the North Fork of Long Island, New York. Unfortunately salt water produces ice that has no guarantee of safety so most of the winter my fishing takes place at my fly tying vise in the basement. I'm one milre fron the Peconic Bay and two miles from the Long Island Sound so I can be fishing within minutes of a chance to do so. If I have more time I'll put my Boston Whaler in and fish Plum Island, Gardiners, The Race around Little and Big Gull Islands. When the nephews and nieces come fishing I always have spinning tackle aboard with squid and clam belly and eels ready to hook. My feeling is, once they catch and love to fish, then is he time to introduce them to the real thrill of fly fishing. Good luck with your blog. You're off to a wonderful start!
Is a day on the water ever wasted? ... Or in this case ice. We had ice in the Everglades by the way, if you can believe it.
You make it look easy. You have a nice blog. Thanks for visiting me.

Wow! I only read fishing via a hole in books since we live in the topics and we only experience ice in the fridge...

Thanks for your visit and kind comment. Returning the compliment. Great blog....I'll be back.
Wonderful fishing shots. Thanks.
You have the determination of a true fisherman, just like my husband.
I like your header photo, that's a nice trophy.
Thanks for stopping by.
For me, the best part of fishing is hanging with my dad. The fish are a damned nuisance. But your photos are great.
