Come one come all to our first Hutparty of the season. This is a social event for fisherman and their families. BBQ, Tactics, Bragging rights and Fun. Stop by on January 12th and the 13th 2013. Meet and greet your local fisherman of Wyoming. Find new fishing buddies learn Keyholes "deadsea tactics" from locals. I will be giving further instructions on to were the base camp will be located. Got to get out on the ice to see were the fish are bitting first. ;D
If you have any suggestions for the event please don't be afraid to speak up this is our first run at this and I would like to make it fun.
-
That sounds great lookin forward to it :thumbsup:
-
Sounds Great!
-
thanks for putting it on! Let us know if we can bring anything to help make it a first of many.
-
I might have to try and make it up, I would love to learn something from the guys that get to fish it!
-
If you'll accept a guy from western South Dakota, I'll be there.
Paul

South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado....... I'm sure your welcome to come!
-
I say come and have some fun people :thumbsup: :icefish:
-
dang i just noticed the jason mitchell thing is the next weekend, not sure i can make both, gonna have to figure somethin out
-
lets do it!!! I was talking about doing something earlier in the summer but heck yea I'm game. Shanty is set up in the garage right now getting rope lighting rigged up in it!
-
cant wait
-
I hope that I can make it to.
-
Its on my 7 off. Defintely going to consider it.
-
Humm... sounds like fun, but I was going to try and go to the gorge that weekend. I am gonna bet the ice will be better at keyhole though! we shall see. Hope to meet you guys there.
Is some one bringing minnows to sell??
-
LOL I hope someone has some minnows thois year I am trying getting my own in traps so we will see
-
I'd like to make it too. It's too far away to give a "for sure" yet though.
-
LOL I hope someone has some minnows thois year I am trying getting my own in traps so we will see
A gal I work with raises "State Certified" minnows on her place in Gillette, but she cannot sell them retail. She supplies Ace Hdwe in Gillette for one, I'm not certain where else she sells to. Saw her earlier this morning, if I run into her again I'll ask her about them for you.
-
That would be a good deal wyo I like to buy minnows that are kept outside so they are acclimated to the cold. Them ones from ace die in ten min of bein in the cold most of the time thats why I really like Roosters in Rapid when we go to pactola instead of cabelas or scheels
-
Jed, sounds good to me. I caught a nice Smallie from Bear Claw saturday jigging, and a handful of perch. No size. Been hearing lots of Pike being caught...i'll be ready this year...more quick strike rigs and bigger spoons. See you out there!
-
Fished with a good friend after working nights Monday. Fished for about 4 hours and landed 30 eyes, a few of everything else. Fishing plastics and spoons. Bait was to slow! Water holding at 38 degrees.
-
Anyone got a wall tent that we could use as a base camp? Would like to use it as a dinning room area. I was also thinking of bring some sort of barbecue/fire-pit out to have a little fire on the ice. What do you guys think?
-
I have the giant grill taken care of and it's parked at Pinehaven.
-
I have 2 trailer mounted cookers for my bbq biz I was planning on just bringin out my big one it will cook 2-250lb hogs and 8 briskets all at once ;D
-
That sounds good to me. I have to barrow the other one.
-

You might need the other one also.... ::) ;D
-
As for minnows I know the R Place is going to try and have minnows through the winter if everything works out right
-
haha I can sure bring em both Im use to dragen both to events lol I have all the bells and whistles when it comes to bbq I guess when you own a bbq biz its a good thing to have :thumbsup:
-
We might actually get ice to hold this party. Common we need a good couple of inches. If we have less than 5 inches I think we should hold it on dry land just for safty reasons.
-
Yep I agree special we can have a get together on the bank just as easy and talk about where we would like to be fishin lol
-
well reports coming off the lake tonight are good for ice fishing not good for duck hunting lol, I was told that the whole west end is froze up and is holding a dusting of snow on top of the ice. we might be able to pull off the hut party. Special where were you thinking about having the central spot at?
-
Good question, I was thinking pinehaven side which has, Hotels, food, baitshop, ect. Mulecreek or Windcreek just depends on were the fish are bitting. I will favor Windcreek due to close access to ice and land and parking, campsite close enough to the ice that we could use as a Firepit. An area I'm thinking gives us access to a bathroom that is close, Also we can pull our campers down there and if anyone from out of the area would like to bunk up and do some weekend fishing we could have a howl of a time around a campfire if we are not fishing! :-\ But lets do some fishing to see if the bite is better on the other side. ??? :icefish: The only concern is how slick will that hill be. I've had a few close ones in my truck coming down and trying to get back out. If not Windcreek we do Mulecreek up around the parking area on top of the boat ramp. I drawing a blank is there a shelter on top? Or on the road past the bathroom area. Close to the ice/water.
If anyone can think of a better place I'm all ears.
Hey I was also contemplating on having a little meeting before this shindig. See who all want to participate/help. Just get organized alittle, come up with some kind of plan. If we pull this off it could become a tradition like the boysen boys. I was thinking around the weekend of the 29th and 30th out on the ice or at coffee shop/pub. PM me please if you want a meeting or if you can contribute something post it on this tread so we don't copy someones elses donation. I'll start making a list/plan. Thanks Special
-
Days are ticking down, time for some fun hope you will join us.
-
heck ya just let me know when the meeting is an i will be there
-
sounds like a heck of a good time, the more the merrier as they say
-
I cant hardly wait to learn Keyholes "deadsea tactics" from locals...... who are you gonna have for instructors ????
-
sounds like fun please let me know if i can bring anything to help out
-
let me know on a meeting date, Im all in! Even went and bought a new hub for the occasion
-
I work that weekend....Have a great time my fellow N.E. wyoming ice-addicts.
-
HEY SPECIAL...
AppleEYE tells me you were a MARINE... TRUE OR FALSE ???
If TRUE.... are you well schooled on how to put up a MILITARY STYLE Tent ??
-
So we certian on the date? how about the location, or are you guys still waitning for it to get closer?
-
Still a MARINE. ERR Devil Dogs eeraa. I can set up any kind of tent. What ya got. Appleye made a good point that if we put a couple of campers in a circle to keep the W off our backs that would work also. What size is the tent?
-
We may have access to a army surplus tent but I for one have no idea how to put it up.
-
What style? Temper Tent or old school GP 10 man?
-
We put up a 20x60 army tent for elk hunting once it has 3 stoves in it and from what I remember it took like 2 hours by the time we shoveled the snow away and layed it out but once the corners were staked and some on the side 3 guys went inside and stood up the poles and then we staked the rest AND then we dank beers lol :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-

If folks could let me know how many are looking at the Sunday buffet on the 13th....The staff would like to have some kind of a count as to how many are going to be there....the food is pretty good and it will give the folks who have to travel a chance for a good meal and a place to warm up if need be before they head home.
If you plan on attending the Sunday buffet let me know....
I will get it started TEAM LIGHTNING RSVPing for the Sunday Buffet for TWO People.

Most know the Empire Guesthouse usually has minnows. Are's are kept outside and keep well. We also finally got in wax and meal worms, spikes and nightcrawlers. We should have a good stock of PK Lures by the end of the week. For the hut party we will be giving away some prizes to ice shanty members, when you make a purchase during the hut party you can register for fishing poles, tipups, etc.
Wish I could attend,but have to work weekends. Roxan has been doing a great job running this place by herself.

If you take any pictures during the hut party and would maybe like to see them on a calender let us know at the Empire Guesthouse. We are planning on putting out a 2014 calender. The calender will have a different theme each month and January will be ice fishing month with ice shanty being the focus. Email pictures to [email protected] and be sure to tag pictures with your name so you get credit for it. I would also like to use some of your pictures in newspaper articles with your ok. Calender pages will be done like a collage so we can put several pictures per page.

Saturday 12th of January 2013
8am Meet and greet your fishing group. After discussion we decided it would be better off to skip the challenges and get in groups that want to target species of fish. Example perch, walleye, Pike, bass and fun. Also we are trying to rig up some sleds that could transport fisherman to locations across the ice. If not there is going to be groups fishing off both points and in mulecreek easy walking distance. Also if you purchase a item at empire they are doing a drawing for shanty members. They will have plenty of minnows. They also have a nice selection on PKs and icefishing tackle. Might want to stop in a take a look good prices.
11:30 - 12:30 BBQ Jason BBQ is hot and ready. Yum Yum is the bomb. It will be on Mulecreek bay. It might be on the ice in the bay or on the point down from the restroom. Donations for food will be appreciated. Please post if bring a food dish. We could use some Buns for hamburgers, hotdogs, a couple bags of chips. ALSO BRING YOUR OWN DRINK.
1pm Meet your new fishing group. If you decide to stay with what your doing no biggy or want to join the hunt for a new species all the better. Its up to you. I'm going to do some walleye trolling and see if they do exists. Drill drill drill and move find the active fish.
6:00pmish Burger and a Beer at R's place. Join the group or head for home your choice. A couple of us are spending the night out on keyhole with our campers. Empire, is giving specials $25 night for RV hook ups Showers and Power are available no water. Also they have a couple cabins available that weekend. $65 a night. Give Empire a call @ (307) 670-0428 . to reserve a spot if you want to stay at empire. I plan on camping in windcreek campground area.
Sunday 13th
8am meet your group. Try new spot off grid. Suggestions welcomed.
11am Send off or stay on. Your choice. There is a great little Brunch done by the Pinehaven restrant club. Good food. 12pm at the superclub for all RSVPs in pinehaven they are ready for us to chow down some good food. ;D

-
love the new plan Special. I would love to go focus on some perch and occasional wally. I'm in the process of trying to talk the better half into joining us for the afternoon saturday.
-
I will be out fishing Friday, Saturday, and sunday. I plan on stopping by and meeting up with you guys for a bit. I will also be dragging along a couple of shanty lurkers... :tipup:
-
I would love to make it but it looks like I am headed farther west! Unless this snow storm stops the trip.
Best of luck to you!!
-

Anyone want to carpool from the Bighorn basin? I would love to be there if gas money wasn't so tight.
-
Ok everyone I need opinions quickly. We finally got a descent weather report and looks like 6 inches of snow and well in the negatives this weekend. I've been asked by many to push it back. (Kids, equipment ect.) What say you RSVPers should we push or brave the cold and snowy roads.
.
-
I'm gonna fish one way or another, let me know. :tipup:
-
Hey guys this cancellation is mostly due to the kids and wives and my cooker not cookin to good in hi winds and cold. I talked it over with Special and with so many that were planning on having the kids along including myself the cold -25 WS temps isnt a good idea to take any chances. Sorry for the short notice guys but when we decide on a date or if anyone has some dates let us know. My only weekend next month is the 9-10th and the next weekend will be in March on the 9-10th as well.
-
Ok after a few phone calls. We are still a go. Just no BBQ at noon due to the cold and wind. We are arranging the BBQ for a later date. So we are still meeting at 8am at mulecreek. Also everyone still wants to do the pinehaven superclubs brunch on Sunday.
We are die hard fisherman and will not let mother nature tell us we can't fish. LOL ;)
-
The National Weather Service has included Campbell County in their Winter Storm Advisory...and they are projecting 6 inches of snow in Gillette by the time it's all over mid-day Saturday. We are on the southwest edge of the bulge coming from the north, and they are still saying the storm track is in flux so a slight shift in direction could either increase the impact on us, or decrease how much we get.
Snow is expected to start in the Gillette area by late Thursday afternoon, (around dark)...and by daybreak Friday morning, we should have about 1 inch on the ground.
During the day Friday will be the heavy dump if projections hold up...looking for another 4 inches by Friday evening, and snow continuing through the night for another inch, leaving a storm total at 11 a.m. Saturday of 6.1 inches.
Winds will be a bit of a problem with this storm...looking for them to be steady at 18-22 mph Friday, gusting to 31...that's enough to cause some drifting. Saturday will see winds closer to 13 mph, gusting to 16.
The real story will be a return to single digits on the thermometer. Friday and Saturday will be in the 0-9 degree range, with -10 to -20 wind chill. And, the cold temps will hang on thru Sunday into Monday...so it's January and it's winter in Wyoming!
-
Its a wonderful thing lol makin ice and the season longer I will take that :thumbsup: I just wish it would dump alot of snow in the black hills and not so much on the lake
-
Not very inspiring for a Casper dude daydreamin for days to come up north. But, PRIMETIME for big baits just under the ice for pike.....i sure see alot of pics of pike in nasty weather, perhaps they prowl all day lookin for a bite. WHAT TO DO?!?!
-
The wheel house holds up to wind a lot better than my hunting blind/portable fish house does so I know what I'll be dragging around all day.
-
So how many guys are we now expecting?
-
i will be out with 5 of us.
-
I reserved a cabin do think they will let me cancel I just hope the snow wll release after I get up their 2 in my party :-\ the last time I fished keyhole the high for both days I was up their was 6 don't remember the low.
-
Thank you for committing. Its on!!!!!! Lets make this weekend a day to remember. Mother nature has no hold on us. How many times has the weather report spoiled your plans. In turned being the best day of our lives. Gentlemen 8am on mulecreek is on and ready to fish. Lets make this a moment to explain to our kids. Its up to you to join us in our quest of being a fisherman. 8am mule creek be there or be square. LOL ;D Die hard all the way.
-
I will be fishing. I took two days off and dang it I'm fishing. Catching.....not so sure. LOL With all of us looking we should find something to catch. So 8am Mulecreek/Pine Haven boat ramp. I'll have an Ice shanty flag on my red Honda atv. Dress warm.
-
I talked to Roxy this morning and she will cancel the reservation if need so that's cool but i look at it this way i could be sitting at home doing nothing or i could sitting on a bucket possibly catching a fish of a life time having a captain and coke with new friends!!! Just keep the roads open for me till 6 pm Friday night.
-
I Like youre reasoning outdoor! ;) Where you traveling from?
-
just from Torrington about 3.5 hrs on a normal drive.
-
Walmart in gillette just got a new supply of waxies today. The perch are going to be happy.
-
I will still be out for saturday morning. The New ice suit is PERFECT for the cold wyoming weather.
-
PS i will have an arctic cat sled out there and have a red and black AA suit on.
:tipup: :tipup: :tipup:
-
looks like i'll be headed up their alone he couldn't find a sitter for his dog for a couple of days looked on line to see how the roads were not to bad so far so that's cool. I will be in a silver toyota tundra i don't have a four wheeler or a sled.
-
Man I love weather reports. ERRRR Its just a tipical day in wyoming. Go figure. Its going to be a bit chilly tomarrow but all the better making some ice and catching fish can't beat that. 8 am at mulecreek boat ramp.
-
I don't know where mule creek is im staying at empire if you can call me that would be great 3075759600
-
empire has waxies, best minnows around, just got in a bunch of halis, pk's, frostee's, puppet minnows in today
-
how did all you guys and gals fair today? I braved it for a little while, but unfortunately lost my shanty out of the truck on the way there so had no shelter from the wind. I didnt fair so well as i was only out for an hr and a half. Gonna try tomorrow picking up a new shanty from the old man.
-
Dang TMeyer, did you find it on the way back? What happened?
-
Dang TMeyer, did you find it on the way back? What happened?
Ya, i seen it blow out. BUT...... It got demolished as it got ran over by the time i got back to it. guess it must have slid around with the snow in the back enough that the wind was able to catch it and BYE BYE SHANTY... :( First time i ever lost anything like that. Live and learn i guess. It was one of those suitcase style shelters so its trash now. New one is in the back seat now lol
-
I managed 25 plus perch, two broken rods and a broken chair. We know why it was a hut part because you needed a hut. It was cold. Some of the other guys caught a mess of perch, small mouth and a couple of little eyes. Did I mention in was cold?
-
appleye was it cold out there today! I can only imagine, very tough conditions. I am becoming more of a fair weathered fisherman, not that I can't handle the weather but it can just limit your effectiveness and your mobility. Years ago when we used to fish Ft Peck a few times every winter we used to gage the trip on how much stuff we didn't tear up. Are you guys going out tomorrow?
-
So what was the shanty count today? How did the shotgun start turn out? Where was the best location? How were the burgers and brews at R Place? You know, the basic questions we are all wondering about. ??? @) :o ;D
-
I'd say there was roughly 8-10 groups there for the shotgun start. It was a cold bitter day and appleye hit it dead on it as a cold hard day to fish. I can honestly say it was more quality over quantity, but it seemed like good times were had by all.
-
Outdreye and I had burgers and a couple cocktails at R place. First rate food and company. We got to watch the double OT and the start of the other game and warm up a bit. Good times. Wish the weather had cooperated it would have been a lot more fun to get to know a few more people and visit and BBQ. Breaking stuff, that's why I have back ups for the back up nothing new there. Still had a good time. Getting ready to go have lunch (11:30 to 1:00 PM). Thinking about running out again but it's still COLD! I just got everything dried out. I guess I'm ready? ;D
-
I had a great time will be in contactto come up again was going to go out this morning but my auger needs a little TLC. I just want to thank everyone again even though I didn't catch anything I need to stop focusing on walleye and fish for whatever is bitting or under my hole. The bugger were great almost couldn't eat it all. I highly recommend the Empire if you need a place to stay very clean and great hospitality looking toward to my next trip I learned alot.
-
Today was far nicer out than yesterday. Tried my luck at coulter bay with no luck. Seen a few catching small perch but no such luck for me. I did try wind creek as well and iced 3 there. Was pretty slushy at coulter bay. Almost got the snowmobile stuck. :tipup:
-
I want to personal thank everyone for showing up. I was not able to attend the hutparty this weekend due to family issues. I'll be looking forward to getting out on the ice especially after this situation is solved. Thanks you for the support you have given.
Special

HAHA funny you should say that Cargo we have been fishin Peck for quite a few years and we kinda did the same thing if you came back with stuff lost broke or wet it was a hard good time lol seemed like we always broke a wheeler and a few rods lost some tipups and rode into a water hole somewhere but over the past few years I have built a system on our wheelers that keeps all that from happening and I havent rode into any open water for a few years :thumbsup:

jasonfishn you know exactly what I am talking about you have been there done that's cool :clap
Story: About tearing stuff up at Peck. We had unloaded around the Pines and went to Bonetrail to fish for Big Pike. We happen to see a lone coyote out in the middle of the ice, two guys took off on wheelers to run him over in the chase process they were zig zagging back in forth as the coyote was making some good moves and the two guys on there wheelers were not watching each other and collided tearing the whole front tire assembly off one of the wheelers I guess you would say the coyote won that contest. luckily no one was hurt.

Hey guys, I did win the Pole from Empire. I totally forgot about the hut part thing until MrsSmith asked if I was a member of iceshanty when I was buying bait. SHe entered me into a raffle and called me while I was out fishing. A nice rod, thanks to Empire and anyone else. I fish keyhole all the time and haven't met any of you other keyholers yet, guess I'm shy or something. I'll be out there for the Derby, headed to Tongue River Res this weekend for a three day trip.
