Lakes should be all hard capped -33 last night with windchilll

Hit Alsop for a whopping 40 minutes of fishing but I got two and lost one. Both fish about the same 20" size...

Speaking of LPL's . . . just curious what order yous guys would put the lakes in preference order.
Which one would you go to first? . . . second? . . . etc?

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #34 on:** Nov 30, 2010, 02:32 PM »

Depends on what I wanted to find... If big fish were the only target it would be Hattie, Alsop, Gellat,then Leazenby! For #s of fish Leazenby, Sodagreen, Alsop,

The wind is gonna die down so here's hoping for tomorrow.

I hope so! Was out at Leazenby last night and it was brutal! My new ice hut worked well though. Sadly...we got skunked - no bites at all for two hours of fishing.

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #37 on:** Dec 01, 2010, 02:32 PM »

Yep getting the gear ready for tomorrow right now! Hope it holds off for a while tomorrow!

How was the ice at Leazenby?

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #40 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 06:50 AM »

Scrappy was out there last night he said there was still 6-7" when he left

thissilentstar · « **Reply #41 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 08:46 AM »

Yeah the ice is good, an open patch on the South end under the footbridge.

I lost my a glove so had to walk across the whole thing. Surprisingly - found my glove at the other end. My friend forgot to put my auger cover in his pocket - so as I was looking for my glove on the East end of the lake, my auger cover came blowing over. I went over to it - and there was my glove as well.

Thanks guys!

OOPS I thought u were looking for alsop 327...
I fished Alsop this morning with 4 other shanty members landed two, had three come unbuttoned, and missed a few bites. CB, Trog,Fishwhisperer, and 3lungs were still out there when I left!

thissilentstar · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 02:44 PM »

I was talking about Leazenby in my reply - ice was 8" where we drilled

You guys are making me want to head back over to laramie just to get on the ice! I didn't do a darn on those lakes last year. Sodergreen all I caught were stockers so this is making me excited for next year when I'm BACK!

327trout · « **Reply #46 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 06:16 PM »

I'm heading out to alsop for some night fishing. I repaired my hut today so I'm going here in just a few minutes. I'll report back later, curious how I do. Anyway I'll be in a black and green hut if anyone wants to join me.

POk3s · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 06:40 PM »

no moose but i was just using small maribou jigs....not really the best bait for suckers if that's what you're targeting (don't know why LOL). All i caught were stockers all of last winter at any lake i went to. Heard the plains lakes were supposed to have big fish, went to sodergreen caught nothing but about 8 12" fish...went to North Crow figuring i'd change pace and hopefully catch a greyling...caught nothing but about 25 12" bows and one cutthroat that was the biggest of the day by about a half an inch.

trogdor · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 06:42 PM »

Alsop was a tease for me today. I had my chances so I gots no one to blame but myself $:-\$

327trout · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 02, 2010, 09:40 PM »

Just got back from Alsop, beautiful evening but all the fish went to sleep on me. I sat up my hut a ways out from the boat ramp, lit my lantern and watched my camera. I used two poles, jigging one non stop, I tried jigs, glow spoons, big shiny spoons, yet not even one fish came to look. I really think that rainbows don't feed at night unless they can really smell some real bait, which would be illegal there. I have never went to Alsop without seeing a fish on my camera until tonight, pretty sure I won't waste any more of my time unless a lake has browns or lakers. I'll probably do Granite or Crow sometime at night and see if the response is different.

I grew up night fishing for cats in my homestate but this was my first dedicated night ice trip. I fished for a solid two hours, so at least now I feel like I have at least given it a try. One time at Granite I was on some bows and it got dark, I caught maybe one more but it definitely slowed down and I was cold so I left shortly after. I hope to do it again though with my hut.

It was nice meeting up with you guys yesterday!! Despite the lack of fish (except for Taz! nice fish man, ill email those photos tonight) it was great to get out onto the ice, and to hang with a bunch of other Wy Iceshanty members!! Hoping to get back out there tues if this crappy weather doesnt ruin the ice (and if my wife doesnt give birth to our new son between now and then...due 12/13) Cheers.

trogdor · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 11:22 AM »

CB I think we can forgive you for not making it out

Congrats!

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 11:28 AM »

No need to pull a taz and show up with fish in the trunk to your kid's birth

Yes I was late to the hospital when the oldest was born I showed up with a 30# king salmon in the trunk for my dad to go take care of

But still made the birth...

Well there is one rod lost to Alsop! Fish yanked a friends rod right down the hole today. Seams like fish out there are getting pretty finicky. Ice is really going down hill as well. I bet its lost 2" and whats there is getting weaker by the day. Lots of puddles on top today.

Hit Leazenby for about 45 minutes today. Caught one 17" and had another bump. Does not seem to be full of the stockers like last year. Ice is good and solid on the north end. We will be out there early early tomorrow.

wyoming_man · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 08:05 PM »

It was a bow. There other one that came in was also a bow. I only caught one brookie thru the ice out there last year. Love catch those chunk brookies!!

327trout · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 10:20 PM »

I bet there are some big ones out there, I got 3-4 in the 15-16 inch range there last year all in the same spot. Haven't had a chance to get out to Leazenby yet but I bet I can repeat and they will be bigger this year. If I get a 20" brook it's going on the wall.

cbtrtbum · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 11:17 PM »

It surprises me that Leazenby grows some big trout. it has got to be the shallowest pond i fish by far.

fishaholictaz · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 03, 2010, 11:26 PM »

Heard of a 12# brown on a guys wall from Leazenby!

wyoming_man · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 04, 2010, 05:44 AM »

I have seen some BIG fish come out of there. Heading out to Leaz right now and see if we can't tie into another 12 pounder!!
