Default Lower K Bully

Thought I would share some pictures of the beautiful Afternoon I had at lower K, said the hell with work and made it out there by 1pm. Temperature was a bitter +9 at the lake and with the high winds felt like...well T shirt weather. No offence to the Northern folks...

Ice looked very sketchy and there was not a soul out there, after a test hole or two I was confident, it looked worse than it was.

Set up in about 35 ft of water, missed a 10lb+ right off the get go! bad hook set on my part. Water was very clear could just barely see bottom, had the camera set up around 15 ft from the hole I was fishing. Saw about 4 fish on the camera while I was there, and landed just the one.

The scenery is so amazing I would have enjoyed myself even if I didn't get a fish. I feel very fortunate to have access to such an amazing place within 90 minutes of the City. And fortunately unlike the other posts I have read recently, people have been respectfully cleaning up after themselves. There was no garbage whatsoever...well done!

Nicely done man. I am glad your homemade streamers worked out. Were you there today or is this where you went after we fished with you on Saturday?

It varied as I was near the spillway from the upper lake, where I was fishing there was about 9" of good clear ice and another 8-9" of crap white ice on top

Is there a map to lake x?

All joking aside, there are a lot of videos on how to tie different flies, you just have to get the materials you want to use and experiment, practice and you will come up with your own designs.

Beautifull scenery. Great looking fish. Congrats.
I find it incredible that you could see the bottom at 35'. Water must be crystal clear.
