Took the Evo Ice Fishing in Ely

[Mark Leasure]

Took a trip to Ely to go ice fishing for lake trout opener. I put a hitch on the Evo last year and I really put the car and trailer to the test this last week! Ended up putting on around 650 miles total! All on E85 too! Only issue I ran into was the last E85 source was in Virginia, MN and they ran out of E85…. No good but I called some buddies that had not started the trip up yet to pick up 10 gallons for me. I have some Ipike snow tires that performed flawlessly. The car and trailer were super loaded, back seat, trunk and the trailer were full.

Any Evo action on the frozen lake ? Most likely not...but still worth asking.

Very cool! More pics of fishing though.

Only two questions: what boost setting do you use on the vexilar and how do the minnows like E85??

A pic from the first day out, it’s about 5lbs. The rest of the trip was consumed with heavy drinking and not caring too much about anything....

BADASS! That trout looks big!

only in MN is it acceptable to have a trailer hitch on an evo

I'm from Ely! I actually live in St. Cloud now though haha, I would've been pumped to see another Evo up there.

That station in Virginia is a PITA, I leave St Cloud after work when I go back up, and its a 90% chance they're closed when I go through

Do you have a cabin up there? Or stay with friends? What lake did you go out on?
