...Arctic Char

Catch of the day! A nice Arctic Char.
Mrs. Huffy jigs through the ice.

Ice fishing in Alaska.
We spent another afternoon fishing on the ice and caught a nice mixture of trout and arctic char. It was overcast and windy, but that didn't matter since we had a couple of ice fishing tents with heaters in them. Everyone was warm and toasty as they reeled in fish after fish. One arctic char was particularly impressive and beautifully colored. It was hooked by one of the younger members of our group and the level of excitement skyrockted when we saw how big it was.
We enjoyed the afternoon and after several hours walked back home for a dinner of Thanksgiving leftovers. We were all thankful today for an...Arctic Char.

Nice fishing! I think that Brenden, Nolan and I will try and go on Saturday. Maybe we can convince Erin and Ethan too. It looks like you were having fun.

Hi Doug,

We had a great time. Popcorn shrimp work well for bait. Good luck!
