don't get to icefish em over here much...there is only one lake you could icefish with them in it but it is a small population and at 11,000+ ft. in elevation so the snow is like 6 ft. deep on the lake and the ice is like 3 ft. thick. The lake I'm speaking of was still completely frozen over 2 weeks ago do they fight good through the ice trapper or are they wusses like lakers?
