Box Butte fishing this fall/winter

[bobco]

I'm looking to setup a 3 day trip to fish for Northerns this coming winter.  Sure miss the slimers from my growing up in North Dakota.  Sounds like Box Butte was the place to be last winter. Looking to get some info on how things have been this year as far as water levels and fishing.  Also any recommendations on where to stay and eat in the area.....thinking about a end of January 1st of February trip .... :tipup:thanks
