Yep, I am ready for the ice! Curt posted a water temp last week and it might be early ice this year! Been watching lunker deals and ice fishing deals for pre-season specials on tackle. Going to go out next weekend a try for a steelie or a cold pack which ever comes first.

The perfect day starts out with full beer cooler and empty fish cooler . It ends with an empty beer cooler and full fish cooler .

I’m a Utard myself Bmarsh. One that loves me some brook trout! We’ve already got a cabin rented for 3 nights around Thanksgiving. We’ll have to meet up if you’re up there!

Amen Curt. Looking at the temps, it might be a foot race between Henry's and Blackfoot Res. for first fishable ice. Fished clear into April last spring at Blackfoot. A new record for us.

I have better luck at Henry's, I love Blackfoot Resivior, but it has been spotty for me . 2 years ago I lost a monster up there . Had him up to the hole ten times and could not get him to turn up the hole.

Three more weeks of no ice fishing. That’s all I ask.
