-K- I received a call from a buddy who's daring enough to try ice fishing for the 1st time. So I immediately got off my rear end and headed to BPS to blow some money. Got a hand ice auger and yes, I know it's gon' be a pain. I shot a PM to TFB asking for a little bit of tackle tips and safety tips already, but any additional tips from forum members would be appreciated... Especially safety tips cuz I'm a clumsy wuss.
To the point: What I'm going to ask here is for ice fishing destinations in the mountains within roughly a 2 hr drive from the metro area that will be a feasible trip with a little Honda (-k- stop laughing, guys). I need mostly paved roads all the way up to the parking lot
and easy access. Don't mind hikes of up to a quarter of a mile to the shore of iced up lake. Lake trout are a must. I wouldn't even go if not for lakers. I'm not trophy hunting, just want to catch a few small ones to fillet. Any info would be totally appreciated. Don't have to give me your honey holes in any particular lake, but general ideas of where to start would be nice too. BTW, I'm also gon' be fishing blindly (no electronics, I'm goin Flinstone style).
Thanks in advance,
