Default Gena's first Lake Whitefish

Wow what a nice day out here

started with snow flurries but got sunny later

Gena had a slow start as they were lookers

I had one on the ice but had seen 7

Then Gena got one to commit and he had his first

Tied his own pregnant Shrimp on a double

10 minutes later I heard some sound for his tent then

one got away

aahhh such is fishing

enjoy

David

Nice! Do you find the double hook to get a better grip on the whites?

too all Gena is the fly tier I am but a student and not for sale

Gena has his first Lake Whitefish to feed his family

I have been teaching Ice fishing for over 25 years


this is to show that you can tie ice fishing hooks and the double hook

good luck to all

You are definitely the whitefish whisperer! It's funny, I was just wishing there was a lure like that but haven't come across one. I haven't gotten as far as to think of the double hook though - for that I'd have to have a whitey bite, and then if it gets off my brain would come to that next conclusion Give me a couple years...haha
