A short video clip of ice fishing at Harvey Gap Reservoir between New Castle and Rifle, Colorado. It was a cold, but sunny bluebird day. We fished the down-time at midday, but still managed to each catch a handful of small yellow perch.
This was my first day ice fishing, so as usual, Glenn did a great job of teaching me the ropes. I learned how to prepare the ice hole, rig the jigs, find the bottom of the lake with the plumb-bob, recognize a hit and set the hook.
We had a lot of fun. Glenn even landed a rainbow trout. A relaxing way to spend the day.
