Very nice arctic char/trout

[fishermanjake]

My wife caught a short video of me landing a big arctic char a couple of weeks ago. It probably went around 5 or 6 pounds, but I sent it back to my son complaining, "but I was going to eat him!" Fishing was somewhat slow but catching a nice fish made up for it.

How long does the ice season typically last up that way? What type of tactics and baits do you normally use for these char/trout?

Usually I use big shiny spoons like a Swedish pimple or a pixie work really well. our Ice season lasts from late October into mid to late april if you want to push it. The ice gets too sloppy to walk on before it gets too week to support you .

So use the video share for youtube and just use the id part, not the whole http://youtu.be/
