Support Iceshanty... Get some great gear and forum goodies... Join The Iceshanty Hardwater Militia
I'm predicting 34 days until first fishable ice in Colorado. Last few years have been warm in late October but I think this year will be different.
Just picked up my first set of ice fishing gear. I now have a shanty (frabill outpost), a hummingbird ice 45, a strike master auger (8 "), small sled, a few poles and assorted jigs. Bought used from a fella for a great price. I already had a few poles, ice cleats, bucket, and cold weather clothes. What else do I need to join the ranks? I'll be fishing DeWeese, and 11 mile mostly. Feels good to finally have my own gear. Lets go ice!
Bring some 1/4 oz. Kastmasters to 11-mile. Gold, Silver/orange, Rainbow.
Will do, thanks for the advice. I believe I have some in my stream kit for trout. When can we expect ice to start making an appearance at 11 mile?
