Rick has a connection with the owner of the LC Lodge and invited me on a fishing trip up there for his birthday with all his buddies. We arrived late Friday night and fished on Saturday. There is a total of 20 different ponds, and they all hold a variety of trout. The ice was anywhere from 6-12 inches thick depending on the pond. Rick had a good birthday outfit for his ice adventure and the party started quickly.
Saturday morning,
we fished 3-4 different ponds with only one fish to show for it before moving
to the honey hole pond where we were able to land close to 15 nice rainbow
trout. They were all around 20-inches
long and fat and healthy. Ricks buddy
Pulver had the hot hand and caught 8-9 himself using a yellow tube jig tipped
with a worm. We tried a few other ponds
once the honey hole died down, but never did catch another fish.
It was a wild
trip with some wild dudes and the fishing came second to the partying, but
still a fun experience and such a cool place.
The earthwork to create all the ponds was incredible. I imagine it’s even prettier in the summer. It had 3-4 different cabins on the 1,100-acre
property all stocked with side by sides for your personal use. Our cabin had 4 bedrooms and was beautifully
done in dark woods and western décor. Rick’s
brother came who is a professional chef and cooked for us every meal. We were not roughing it by any stretch.
