I'm ready!!!! Saw pics from Stillwater today. It was 90% locked up. I think by the weekend we'll be on some of the further north lakes

Found out my OT will coming to an end mid February. Now and then maybe I could squeeze some in. Hoping to use all that gear that's been sitting in the storage unit.

Ice is holding in he elevations. I think its done for a bit after today. If the forecast holds likely to be on again next weekend. Belmont seemed a bit sketchy so looked around for a back up plan. Today on Stillwater Dam. Shortened fishing time due to looking for a spot. IMG_0729.jpeg

Ice seaon is rolling! A few ups and downs to start. Unpredictable weather had us spinning our wheels for a bit but we are locked in now. Good day on the lake today. Bitter but beautiful start. Temps fell 10 - 14 degrees lower than forecast. Trees and bushes were all white with frost. Fishing was pretty good. Lots caught. Friends and family will have some fresh fish. Kept 21 gills, 7 crappies. Caught twice that many. 5-6" of solid ice. 4-5" of snow on top make the pull a bit tougher. Used the flip over and heater today
