Ice Fishing Lake Trout in Northern Manitoba!

[@Nick-dd2xg]

Clayton I gotta say, you're becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs, your videos of Mega Live paired with underwater camera shots are bar-none some of the coolest footage I've seen. I could watch that stuff all day long, please keep it coming 👍🏼

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words man!!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Clayton I love your running commentary. Your enthusiasm for fishing is apparent. If ever a man loved his job it's Clayton Schick.

[@fishn365]

Just keep being the best Clayton Schick you can be. But I would like to hear more about your beginnings. Who got you interested in fishing? What made you decide to share your passion with us? I agree about letting someone know where you are, and if possible, fishing with a partner. Having gone through the ice three times(twice playing pond hockey, once fishing) its super important to be prepared for the worst.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I would love to talk about where it all started one day!

[@fishn365]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors and I would be very interested in that tale.

[@juddhengtgen7408]

There's so many lake's up there that are gems for fishermen. I live in Minnesota. Covid shut down any bucket list spots, I want to take my sons, fishing up there for trout. There's great fishing here, but not the big trout. Great show.

[@patrickeng4472]

@@juddhengtgen7408 what part of MN are you in and where have you fished for lake trout? Been thinking of a trip to Gunflint to see if I can at least connect with one,,,

[@Brandonv5280]

Next laker video will you talk about ideal structure and depth? maybe certain points of interest. How to find fish on new lakes? All things I'm curious about!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I will work some of that stuff in for sure!

I’m so happy i found his channel, my brother showed me all the others as well, all the 39 hours guys and what have yah, but something about the way you delivery information to to all your fans, no BS, and as honest as it gets, real legit excitement on almost every single fish, its nice to see. Keep up the great work, heading to cold lake tomorrow…

You should do a video showing how to filet a burbot! Too many people missing out on that tasty dish.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Yes I need to!

[@jakeyoung1099]

I appreciate the amount of work you put into your videos. The time you put into getting the perfect camera angles and footage is honestly unreal that takes so much work. It takes a lot of commitment to have the quality videos you release. Awesome man just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words! Every time I put out a video, I do wish it could be better!

Great videos as always, Clayton. We’ve been going up and staying with Norm for a couple years now and he’s the man. He treats us like we’re his only clients. Keep up the great content, Clayton!

I just moved to fair banks Alaska and I've been watching laker videos none stop so I appreciate any tips and baits to use.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hope you get out for some lakers there!

[@chrisb5023]

What a beast for the first laker man! I have to agree with Nick. I don't spend much time watching KZbin fishing videos because I'd rather be out there myself but when I can't, I live vicariously through you Clayton! Keep fishing em up, ill keep watchin!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching!

[@BDGMed]

I’m amazed that first one popped off with that massive hook set! Got some hard mouths apparently!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

When they bite down hard on just the bait sometimes it's hard to get it to slip a little in their lips so you can set the hook.

[@derekmckay574]

I couldn’t agree more with some of the comments that I look forward to your videos. So we’ll done and looking forward to your next camp video. My favourite

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks for commenting! Cheers!

Would like to see a catch n cook lake trout. How you fillet and prep and cook. Thanks pal.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I do need to do that!

[@colinschell8978]

Clayton if the water is clear we need some under water footage it makes the video crazy entertaining! Also why does jay not catch big fish like you!!

I don’t think the camera cables are 65ft long lol

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Once its not -30 I will be.

[@ShutUpAndFishCanada]

Another great video Clayton! Curious why you aren't using the megalive in this video? Is it too deep for megalive? A good video I would enjoy is how you break down a lake for lake trout fishing. Looking at the depth chart map - where do you setup? Primary, secondary etc. Thanks!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

The mega live didnt like to pick up my lure past 50 feet, had a tough time figuring it out, and didnt have the time to mess with it,

[@182corbin]

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That thing smoked your heater like a BOSS!! 😆😆😆

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

HAH! Yup!

[@bryantitus6634]

37-38" Lakers in my area would be close to, if not, a once in a lifetime size laker. Anything over mid 30"s is truly exceptional locally. Crazy the difference from one area to the next. Yes, with a drive to some larger lakes can produce some 20lb+ Lakers come every year, including a 29lb 3oz laker someone caught in a decent size (for us) lake about 2 hours away, three years ago. Said lake doesn't permit ice fishing unfortunately. You, Justin, and Aaron's lake trout videos are literally the only reason I make a couple trips out for lake trout every year.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

We are very lucky for sure! We also release all of the bigger fish where some lakes they would rather kill their catch to show them off. I do have to drive 6-7 hours each way for this.

[@shinuizabusa2180]

Not every day is slay day. Beautiful fish though. Stay safe, much love and a great start into 2022. Shinu

What type of braid do you use on your spinning setups for ice fishing Lake Trout? I can only find ice braid in about 50-yard spools here in Minnesota. I would usually be in a pop up with a heater, so could I use a summer type braid that come in larger capacity spools for Laker through the ice? Always enjoy your videos.
