Deadwood.
#1
Does anyone have first hand ice information from this year for Deadwood? Heading up there in about 10 days and any first hand info would be helpful. PM's are fine if you don't want to share openly.

Never been there in the winter. But would love to try it sometime. Which way you going in? Would appreciate some feedback from your report if you don't mind sharing when you return.

According to Snotel there is 48" inches of snow at cozy cove. I'm guessing it's been cold enough to be frozen. Snotel also has a temperature gauge

Deadwood was a success. Getting in was difficult. We went in from Warm Lake. Only fished about 1.5 hours the first day due to the difficulty. Got 7 species in 1.5 hours, plus 1 day, plus 3.5 hours.

Folks at the lodge were friendly. Weather couldn't have been nicer.

Nice going Hook. Wow 7 species. Let me guess:
Atlantic
Chinook
Kokanee
Bull
Cutthroat
Rainbow
Whitefish

Was news to me. See my post in the contest and see if you agree. Coho in lakes are difficult to differentiate from rainbows, in my opinion. The scales coming off easily was the clincher for me, but I admit that I could be mistaken.

I prefer to think of it as a combination of luck and blessings from above.

Wow, that is truly a great accomlishment, I can't say I've ever heard of anyone on BFT say they have caught 7 species in 1.5 hours. I'm Confused on the second part in the quote, "plus 1 day, plus 3.5 hours"[:/]?

It's just my poor communication skills.

Fished for 1.5 hours one day, all day the next day, and 3.5 hours the third day. Caught 7 species over the 3 days.

Does that make more sense?

OK, I got it now, I was thinking, Wow, that was some fast action, not only did he catch 7 in 1.5 hours but they were all different species of fish. My wife and I were talking about that earlier, when I will say something, where only about half the sentence makes sense and she will look at me, like, what the heck are you talking about. I'll tell her, it made sense before I said it, I must have just thought it but did not say it[crazy]. At least I'm not the only one that does it.
Sounds like it was a good time, no matter how it happened[Wink].
