Splake from my christmas break

[fisherguy]

The biggest is 16", we caught about 35 total for two of us but lots of small ones. Had to keep a few of the little guys that got gill hooked.

Those fish look a little chilled. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

not too bad, it was only about -15, and burying them in a bunch of snow keeps them from freezing...i did have to rinse them off so they actually looked like fish in the pic though.

lol u should see it when its about -30, i'll through my fish outside the shack and they'll be as stiff as a board with in 10 minutes!!! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No need to carry a cooler, huh? Looks like good eatin', although I've never tried those before. They taste good?

[fisherguy]

They are like brook trout in taste, very red meat. Shaun300 try burying them in powdery snow, even at -30 or 40 it keeps fish from freezing too much.

Wow that's some cold looking fishing there! Nice bunch of fish! Good job!

What the **** is a splake??? they look like frozen brook trout to me??

[fisherguy]

a cross breed between lake trout and brook trout. THey have lost most of their colour from being frozen. THey look pretty much like a brook trout only with a forked tail, and a more pointed nose.
