Hey guys, I'm new on here but not new to ice fishing. I'm in Colorado wanting to go to Nebraska for an ice trip for about 5-7 days at the end of january. We are lookin at the Valentine Refuge and Merritt as the 2 destinations. Just wondering how well the fishing is, what to use, and how thick the ice on average is. Any info is a plus, thanks guys and tight lines!
We will be fishing both. So you can use live smelt or minnows on Merritt? I usually use drop jigs, spoons with chains, Dynamic Lure HD Ice, ratfinkees, ratsos, and tear drop jigs. The last 3 are usually tipped with waxies. When it comes to bass, I've never ice fished them and pike I've always used live water dogs under a tip up so I'm not too sure on lures to use
Ok cool again thanks. What are the typical lures for pike, musky, cats, and bass out there?
