Those are some nice browns he got there! I have heard good things about ice fishing the Nelle' but have never gave it a try. Im always driving by on my way to the Berry haha. Maybe Ill have to go there this year too.
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
Loah,
Dang man, youve gotta try it atleast once. If you dont mind the cold sometimes, or even if you do, It can be WARM. Some of my best days ever have come on the ice. The fish are hungry & really aggressive. I agree, You need to hit the berry a couple times. We have had 30 fish per person days up there more times than not. Rockport would be a good starter place to fish for some perch. Your more than welcome to go to the berry with us this yearif you want once the ice gets going. We usually go atleast one day almost every weekend, Sometimes both days if the first day was awesome.

We have been on the ice on days thats its 20 degrees, But with the sun out reflecting off the snow & ice, the temps feel like they are 60-70. If you want a sunburn, Ice fishing is the sport for you :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.
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!
