Ice fishing in Utah. A travel log. Part four. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The best way to eat those tasty fish seems to be deep fried.

I watched some helpful videos about how to get out of the ice pool.

I felt confident.

At the Strawberry, the ice was thick enough. At Fish Lake (which I did not fish), there was a chance of thin ice, since the lake was partially frozen.

Wow - first year in probably 12 that I haven't been up to Utah skiing. Looks like a crappy snow year - all those road scenes I recognize usually are white right to the freeway once you get past Beaver.

Sounds like you made a good trip of it though. I never had any desire to freeze out in the middle of a frozen lake...

With proper gear, it could be fun.

It is for sure a different world.

Teshekur ederim effendi.

I thank you.

My kin had another heart related procedure, and he said it went fine.

it will be about three months before he can see any result is what he was told.

We are all hoping for the best.

I am going back and plan to stop at Hoover dam this time.

The power auger just arrived today. Yupee.
