Thanks for sharing. I love to fish, but have never really seen a reason to go out in freezing temps to do it. 😜 You have piqued my interest! We don't have trout around here, but I do have a cousin who slays the crappie while ice fishing. I may have to look him up! 😁
We do go to Lake Taneycomo about once a year. It's one of the top trout fisheries in the nation. And, it's by 🎶 Branson, so always
something to do besides just fishing. I just saw on the MO Conservation web site, a guy just caught an 18+# brown trout there, so there are some monsters like the one you showed us.
