I am going to try ice fishing for the first time this year, I figure since I love the cold temperatures that it would be a blast! Anyway, if there is anyone out there who ice fishes that wants someone to go with let me know! 8)

With the nice dusting we got on the Front last night, almost makes you think the ice over isnt far off....
+1 No doubt!
Yeah, we definitely need a heavy winter this year or we're not gonna have a place to fish if it keeps up like this! :cry:
Those are some nice fish! How long does everyone think it is going to be before Strawberry freezes over this year? Sooner possibly? Hard to say I suppose :?:
Oh I'm definitely gonna be ice fishin' this season! Fixedblade was kind enough to give me an extra auger that he had and now I just have to wait for Cabelas or sportsmans to get their ice fishing gear in stock! :D

The earliest i have fished Strawberry was around december 15th, The ice was very thin though & I will not do it again. We usually wait until the week between Christmas & newyears to get out, then goes until the end of march or mid april. Scofield is one of the first of the big lakes to freeze over, usually around the beginning of december.
Good to know, thanks!

FishGlyph Im definately gunna give the Nelle a try this ice season. Maybe Ill see you out there!
Ya I have been sunburned many a time out on the ice! Last year I was on Scofield the first weekend of December... and the middle of December on Strawberry just in one of the bays. I wouldnt mind an earlier freeze this year tho! :D
I agree, an earlier freeze would be cool..no pun intended...The nelle is one of my fav. places to fish! I can only imagine ice fishing there! :D
I haven't caught any browns out of the 'nelle yet, but earlier this year, probably march there were a father and son in their float tubes, and one of them caught this 26 inch brown on a fly, it was pretty cool! Ever since, I have wanted to take my tube there, I just haven't yet!

I haven't caught any chub either, thank goodness!
