The last I heard Meebor had 3 inches of ice. Hattie has to be close to being fishable. Has any one heard if Hatti is safe

Was over at Hattie 2 days ago. It was all opened up and no ice. Full of water kind of like the old days. One big lake not two.

THIS WIND SUXS IT MAKES THE ICE DISAPPEAR QUICK.

Hattie is all but open the wind and warm weather has put us back to square one. Even sodergreen has opened back up. Meebor is still fishable but slow to say the least, Gellatt also. Owen is fishing well but you better have four chains on and a beefy tire to make in there.

Hey thanks Wyowind I guess all we can hope for is some cold weather and no wind for a couple of days.

I went out to Gelatt today and there was 5 inches of ice, seemed pretty consistent everywhere I drilled. Also I drove out to Twin Buttes and it was about 75% capped. Took my dog with me today, I fished for about 2 hours and only saw one rainbow on my camera, reminded me of why I don't care for these lakes.

I would be happy with 5 inches of ice right now even if i didnt catch any fish...

Well with last night and today it should've made some ice. BTW i'm in laramie for college.

GLAD TO HEAR THERE IS 5IN OF ICE NOW AND THE FISHING IS ALWAYS SLOW ON THE PLAINS LAKES

Fishing is usually slow on the Plains Lakes, but you never catch a small one. which is worth it in my book

yes that is very true

I'll never forget the first time I ice fished hattie, I caught a 12 inch rainbow and my buddy goes "that's the smallest trout I've ever seen out of here"
I do like ice fishing hattie because of the variety of fish but I don't care for the others.

I have a friend that lives out at hattie and she says it is all frozen that she could see this morning. She also said it was -20 out there last night.

THANKS FOR THE INFO ON HATTIE I LIKE TO GET IN A SCHOOL OF PERCH IF YOU CAN FIND THEM THE LAST TIME WE FOUND THEM WAS AWHILE AGO BY THE DAM AND AFTER GETTING A FEW THERE DISAPPEAR AND THATS WHEN YOU CAN TELL A BIGGER TROUT IS IN THE AREA, AT LEAST THATS HOW ITS BEEN FOR ME HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS???

327trout · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 03, 2009, 06:09 PM »

At the end of last season I went out early in the morning and got on a school of perch then at about 9am a 22 inch rainbow came by and hammered my other rod with sucker meat. I was very happy to catch this fish but the perch never came back in any kind of numbers. Now that the lake is up this should change a bit.

gloomis · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 03, 2009, 07:20 PM »

Im thinking the same thing this year i think the perch fishing should be good this is the most water ive seen in hattie in awhile im excited?
Have u ever got a laker outa there ive fished it my whole life and have only caught 2 and my buddy has got 1 i dont think there are very many in there?

SJ1991 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 03, 2009, 08:14 PM »

I went out to Hattie today and there's probably 3 inches in most spots, a little thin in others. Also went by twin buttes, which is completely capped, and Meeboer and Gelatte both had holes in em where there were fishermen earlier today. Probably 4 to 5 inches on Gelatte and probably 4 on Meeboer.

327trout · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 03, 2009, 09:25 PM »

I left a bunch of holes on gelatt yesterday, and gloomis, I've never got a laker outta there, never seen one either but I've only lived in Wyoming for 7 years and this is my fourth ice season.

WY G&F use to stock brood lakers from the hatchery in Saratoga in the early-mid 90's. They would run about 28" and 8 lbs or so, kind cool, but not really since they'd been in tanks their whole lives. I have no clue if they still stock some of them or not.

ligertrout · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 04, 2009, 07:50 PM »

About 2 months ago I caught a 27" 8 pound 13 ounce rainbow out of Hattie and then 2 weeks later my buddy caught a 28" 11 pounder.
Having trouble posting pic and have to go will post later

gloomis · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 04, 2009, 08:37 PM »

ligertrout · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 05, 2009, 09:46 AM »

went out to leazenby briefly today, there is 6-8 inches ice.

327trout · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 05, 2009, 06:11 PM »

I wasn't going to say anything but I did catch one fish, a 15 inch brook trout, released him

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 05, 2009, 07:00 PM »

Well thank you for sharing. If the weather isn't too horrible I will be out there with my wife's cousin he finally got his paper done...

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 12:34 PM »

Got out and fought the weather and wind for about an hour this morning on Leazenby. I got 2 and my cousin lost 2. But feels good to get the first hard water fish of the year.

only a 13" and 14" bows but fun all the same.
