Fishing Report, January 16 What a crazy week it's been. A few days of high winds, snow and pretty cold, then a few days of -30's and now we're back in a warming trend. It's a full 0 degrees today! The cold weather last week helped get a few more options with safe ice. With that said still be cautious on new lakes. Ice is not as thick as you'd [...]

Fishing Report, January 9 More great ice fishing this past week. I've been on the road guiding south of Missoula. There was great ice and the rainbows were very cooperative.

We are looking at some pretty cold weather starting on Wednesday night. Temps [...]

Perch have been very [...]

We have 3 really good ice fishing options right now and they all have 5-6'' of [...]

Perch and pike are what we're targeting mostly with Grayling in the mix too. We have great ice conditions on the lakes we are guiding on. 5-6'' of clear ice is very safe. The weather outlook for the next 7 days is looking nice and cold. [...]

We are looking at 5-6'' of clear hard ice where we are doing guided trips. Other spots are between 2-3". The weather for the next few days is looking a bit warmer with some [...]
