Give your ice fishing gear a test run before angling for big fish. (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

Here in the valley, we have been treated to a late start to winter. This week was the first cold snap and the first plowable snow. The last few years, November was the month that kicked off our winter weather. This meant that ice fishing was well underway by this time.

While you are reading this, I will have been on White Lake to try for the broodstock brook trout. I stopped by the lake on Wednesday and there was about 2 inches of ice in the coves of White Lake. With the extended cold weather, 3 to 4 inches should be safe to drill a couple of holes and jig for some trout.
