Thanks for watching! Two questions! Do you hole hop or anchor in the tent? How many times did Linda's heart break? Be sure to subscribe and comment below. ► Linda's channel: www.youtube.com/@LifeOfLindaLee ► Instagram: instagram.com/fishing_with_rod ► Facebook: facebook.com/fishingwithrod

I troll typically. I'm sure Linda will need a redemption trip for corrective ❤ repair.

Nice video as usual Rod and Linda. It must be fun to fish with Linda because she is full of so much energy, bubbly and gets so excited when she's got a fish on! Can't wait for your next ice fishing video

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! Her genuine excitement definitely is the highlight of the video!

[@roderickcampbell2105]

Very nice episode. Great commentary and Linda is a bundle of energy!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@samsmith7150]

Great video Rod!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@seaneld]

I love how excited Linda got when hooked a fish ❤

[@FishingwithRod]

😄

[@ChipDarby13]

The Yelp rating would have been 5/5 if she’d caught that first rainbow!😝

[@FishingwithRod]

So hard to please lol.

Hey Rod - we're in the kamloops area and havent had much luck with ice fishing. Which lakes did you hit?

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Where have you tried? Maybe the lake isn't your problem. They all have lots of fish in them if they're on the GoFishBC stocking list. Usually catching fish and being successful has less to do with the lake and more to do with the time of day, weather, lighting, time of winter, where you fish on the lake, the depth, the lure, the action and the experience of the angler. So try adjusting those things before you think your lake is an issue.

Thanks for the video. I always enjoy watching with the kids. I am curious - I have a rod that also has braided line on it for mainline - I find it freezes often; what is your experience with that, and do you do anything to minimize that?

[@FishingwithRod]

The braided main line that I'm using is called Ice-Tec by PowerPro. It seems to perform pretty well but honestly once it gets down to -5C and below, we almost always fish in the tent otherwise everything would be freezing up outside as soon as it gets wet, including the holes we drill. It's just too much hassle to deal with.

Nice video..I'm surprised there wasn't water on the ice

[@FishingwithRod]

This was filmed just before Christmas, and was day two of our four day trip. By day four there was quite a bit of water actually.

[@RHN365]

@@FishingwithRod I'm sure it will get worse with this warm weather

[@andy-c7c]

The second day never seems to be as good as the first on the ice, I think the fish remember.

[@FishingwithRod]

Ain't that the truth! Usually by the time we decide to film, fish have all buggered off.

[@davidphanh]

Excuse me for asking but where is kitty?

[@FishingwithRod]

She’s no longer filming with me. She has her on social media so shouldn’t be too hard to find her. 👍

[@primalucephoto]

LLJ?

[@Oscar-c4d8v]

When are you going to make a steelhead episode?

[@FishingwithRod]

When I actually start fishing for them and catch one. 🤣

[@nicholasyebra1988]

Where’s kitty

[@FishingwithRod]

Not here lol…

[@Go2fishingbc]

I stomped on that snowman next day 💪

[@FishingwithRod]

She will remember that haha...
