Episode 47: Adirondack Ice Fishing for Lake Trout with my father Ivon Waldron
We have a special bonus episode this week! My father Ivon Waldron has been ice fishing for over 50 years. He joins me on the ice this week at home in the Adirondacks as we weave some actual ice fishing audio footage into this episode.
Topics covered include:
- the power auger he purchased in 1979 with trapping money - which we still use today
- the custom fishing shanty he built to fit on the back of his '81 Chevy
- why Dad loves lake trout
- an intro to Adirondack limnology & ichthyology
- what constitutes good fishing structure
- Fishing through a Nor'easter in January 1986
- Todd's experience with almost falling through the ice as a kid
- NY baitfish regulations
