Hunter Hallee, 14, of Rome, had a successful day ice fishing a few weeks ago. Here, he shows off the smallmouth bass he caught while fishing with his maternal grandfather.
Hunter displays a rather large yellow perch he also caught that day, at some undisclosed location in Belgrade. His father, Ryan Hallee, of Rome, exclaimed, “that is the biggest tiger trout I’ve ever seen. Even his trash fish are big.”
FISHY PHOTO: First fish through the ice
Tyler White, son of Nathan and Alison, caught his first fish through the ice on February 14, during the China Four Seasons Club fishing derby. He was hoping to get a big one to enter but, hey, a little one (a pickerel) is just as good. (contributed photo)
FISHY PHOTO: What is it?
Hunter Hallee, 14, of Rome, recently caught this fish while fishing through the ice on Salmon Pond, in Belgrade. After taking the photo, he released it, before identifying it. It’s difficult because of the way he is holding it, but some say it’s a brook trout, others a salmon, and even others, a splake. Does anyone want to weigh in on the species?
