Laramie Plains lakes

[trogdor]

Checked Gelatt today. It looked good driving up, but when I cut a hole the ice was only an inch thick. If the blasted wind would die down.....

[wyo700]

gotta love that wyo wind.   i know how you feel we are dealing with the same thing here.

[wyoming_man]

I went out and checked Leazenby today.  It still had about 30 ft of open water on the east side.

These last couple days of cold would help a ton if the wind would die down even a little.  How much longer do you guys think before we can get on these lakes?

[fishsmith]

If these colder temps were coupled with ZERO wind I think we might be ice fishing those lakes by the weekend.  But sounds like the wind over there hasn't been too friendly. 

The temps are going to start to rise up out of this cold spell in the next few days though and if there is not a good foundation of Ice I know I won't be fishing those lakes for another week or more.

Shouldn't be long though.

I know everyone is ansty to get out and get on some ice but remember we are fortunate in this state, once they ice up we have months and months of fishing.  I'm personally in no race to be the first person out on the ice - I like staying dry - and warm.

Hey moose, Guys that like to stay warm and dry don't usually like to float tube in a snow storm in November.

I saw a couple of guys on Alsop in Laramie today on the way to the Thanksgiving feast.  They weren't too far from the landing and I have no clue how much ice was there but, nonetheless, some brave souls were on the water.

hit gelat today with three lungs no luck....... and ice on most the lake is maybe 3 inches. a lil skethchy but couldnt wait to get the ice hut out!!!!

[fishaholictaz]

Going to do the tour and hit each lake and probably end up at alsop haven't fished it much lately...

[fishaholictaz]

Ended up going to Alsop it has ok ice 3-5" with a few 2" areas mixed in. Didn't  venture far from the boat launch. I fished a little over an hour and a half and iced 2 fish one was a NICE 3-4 lbs and one was 2-3 lbs...

[trogdor]

Gelatt now has 3 good solid inches. Fished it for an hour got nothin.

[fishaholictaz]

Went back to Alsop with glow jigs for a while tonight we ended up packing it in when the wind really started picking up Fished an hour or so got no bites.

[fishwhisperer307]

we need to do that again i think we might have some luck out there!!!

[fishaholictaz]

NAH there are no fish in Alsop and they don't like little pink jigs

[wyoming_man]

Taz-  Where you out on Alsop today?  I stopped by and fished for about 45 minutes.  I was the one chopping with a spud bar.  Figured it was faster, and lighter, then my power auger.  Quite a few people out there.  I measured the ice at 6" where I was. 

[fishaholictaz]

I was out there twice yesterday once before dark and went back after dark. Caught two nice fish the first trip and was only out a couple hours or so. Headed out now...

[wyoming_man]

Good luck!!  I fished for 45 minutes and caught 2 over 20" and one about 14".  Had 3 others on.  It was pretty furious, but I had some honeydo's that kept popping up on my phone.  I will be out there tomorrow.

[jopes]

dats a loooong drive. 

[fishaholictaz]

I was there for a while and had a fast and furious 30 minutes I landed 3 toads and missed a couple more... Then nothing as the sun started to set.

[thissilentstar]

Heading to Alsop right now to give it a shot for a little bit this morning...!!!

[327trout]

I spent the last hour before sundown out at Alsop today. Only saw 2 fish, the first wasn't interested, I hooked the second but lost him. Too bad it looked like a nice fish. Ice was about 7".

I have caught 7 out of there this year and 5 of them were over 20" and 1 was over 5 lbs...

[gulp]

Show us the pic. We want to see what you been pullin up.

[fishaholictaz]

My camera got sand or something in the zoom and won't turn on says zoom error. My wife just got a new cell phone so she won't let me anywhere near it. I am going out there thur. with cb and Trog. one of them will for sure have a camera

Definately agree there.  2 of the 3 I have caught were over 20" and of the 5 I had on before losing at least 3 were over 20".  They are impressive!!  Once you figure out what they want the fishing is actually pretty furious.

[threelungs]

Was out at Alsop this afternoon for a few hrs saw 3 landed 2 my cousin saw at least 5 and missed two here is the biggest of the 2.

[threelungs]

guess I should change my date on camera I hope I didn't look that old 3 years ago lol.

[327trout]

ThreeLungs I thought that was your truck when I turned onto Herrick Ln.

[gulp]

Now thats what I'm talking about. Great fish and thanks for the pic.
