    North Idaho ice fishing.

    I moved to CDA a few years ago and have been enjoying all that the area has to offer. Any other north Idaho guys on here or anybody new to the area that would like to give ice fishing a try? I do most of my hunting and fishing by myself but wouldn't mind some company. Here's a bass from last season.
