I might have to take a trip out to Wyoming to experience some early ice action.  80's in Jersey still.  Should have good ice by the last week of Dec.

The WORST day of fishing is ALWAYS better than the BEST day in the office.

It's colder this morning in Gillette than it was two nights ago in the Bighorns! Howdy fellers! Glad to see the Wyo Board is beginning to wake up from the Summer Slumbers!  :tipup:

It will be nice to have all of these reservoirs full this winter. I was talking to the manager of the Wheatland irrigation district the other day and he said the G&F stocked 2 million cuts in Wheatland #3. He also said that Hattie irr district had to let 25k acre feet out of Hattie because of problems with their check dam (or something like that). Hopefully it is still in good shape?

All of the No platte reservoirs are in good shape, Laramie river reservoirs too. The future is bright.

Saturday 30th. Green River water temperature; 45.1 was 39 a couple of days ago.  The weather boat is going the wrong direction!

I spoke to one of my health care professionals today about the upcomming fishing season. The reply was:

From the information you provided, you appear to be someone who might benefit from psychotherapy from a mental health professional at this time. You appear from your responses to be grappling with a problem in your life that is causing you some concern. People in situations similar to yours often find that talking things over with a therapist can help them get back on track.

It would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from an experienced, trained mental health professional soon to help you with the problem behaviors and feelings you're experiencing.

Thanks a lot buddy! Bring on the ice.

Thanks!  Getting excited for it.  Found a used Quick Fish 3 which will be much better than sitting out in that wind!

18 degrees in Greybull this morning.  I drove to Sheridan and saw that Sibly Lake was completely iced over.  When I came back across late in the afternoon, it had opened up some though.

Something better happen pretty soon. I catch myself playing with my ice fishing gear, tuning it up and getting it mission ready. If something don't happen pretty soon I will have it all worn out just by messing with it...

Spent the day out on the boat yesterday. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and was sweating at one point. Not encouraging.

Sure.
Missed getting pics of some good fish, including one pig brown, but taking care of the fish was priority at the time. Wildlife abounded, weather was beautiful and the company was great.
