Ice is on
Sorry, no exciting pics, but went out for a drive this morning to check the lake. 3-4 inches of ice. Didn't even see a fish...not sure what's going on. I have never not seen a fish there.
Anyhow, thought I'd let you all know. I imagine most west-central trout ponds are ice covered by now.

went for my morning ice tour,try to check it everyday.The ice is about 1,5" thick on 3 lakes and is totally wide open water on the 4th.This am as I drove past,I noticed that 2 lakes had open holes out in deep water.I got to the area that I had been walking on for the last 3 days and at the first step went through. Even with cold overnight lows, with the +5 forecast for Monday,ice conditions will go south in a hurry.

So do you ice fishermen practice catch and release or do you kill your legal fish?

Sometimes I keep 'em, sometimes I don't.
Why does it matter?

I'll usually let them go. I will keep some stocked trout for dad & grandpa, and I sure do like fried burbot, but other than that I'm C&R

Enjoy the easy ride, anti hunters. Strange to me why we seem to be doing your job for you.
Excuse me while I go puke.
