I'm a newbie too - fished Goldeneye today and caught my first fish through the hard water in 30 years - I haven't been ice fished since I was a kid.  This is a great site - appreciate all the info!

Sloans lake in frontier park of cheyenne holds perch and surprisingly big broodstock rainbow trout, 20+ inches. Absaraka in cheyenne is also a fun productive panfish lake... Granite reservoir in curt gowdy state park also has a decent perch population and lots of stocker sized trout.

Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself as i just joined site.  I didnt even know about this site but friend mentioned so figured i would  check it out.  Its so hard to find info about wyoming ice and i am fairly new to state so i have huge learning curve.  Ice fished thru highschool then joined military and didnt touch a short rod till last winter(24year break) so been re learning and getting gear.  Spent last year fishing mostly the sunshines (live in cody) and few other less often.  Fish almost always alone or with 10yr old daughter so not a thin ice guy.  I want to fish the gorge this year, never been down that way so any advice is great.  Always looking for suggestions on new lakes or species...**censored** is a burbot?  Lol.  looks like a snakehead or bowfin to me but heard they eat good and are fun to catch so gonna have to to try it this year.  Look forward to sharing info...

Hi folks. Found this forum today while searching the web for conditions reports. But wow! What an awesome deal going on here. Glad to be here! I feel like I already owe a thank you for just what I’ve seen by lurking before signing up.

I’ve ice fished occasionally for the past few years, but I’m really gearing up to be serious about it this winter. Super excited to get after it!

Welcome guys. As mentioned in a couple
Other threads, you need 3 posts to see the “reports and conditions” page which is just above “Wyoming ice fishing” on the main forum board.

Crow, send me a PM when you’re thinking about coming to the gorge. It’s my home water and I’ll try to give you the most recent report!

Thanks for warm welcome guys!  Its nice to have some resources like this site and good people on it as we all know info in this state is always limited.  PO, i will get a hold of you before heading down that way.  Planning on heading down 2nd week of jan i think. Put a order in last night for bunch of buckshots, glow jigs and some tubes and powergrubs etc, ready to get after them!

Howdy all,
New here, finally made a login and figured I'd check in.

Mostly fish Hattie and Pathfinder.

Heading out after Christmas so fingers crossed for some thick ice and calm winds.

New guys!!! It helps out a lot to put your local water/town where your from. Lot of info and friendships of fishing. If your a Rocksprings/ Greenriver townie. I ask hows the gorge or ask for local info. If your from Gillette. I'll give you as much Intel I can on keyhole plus close water as i can. It becomes a useful site to help out you fellow fisherman. Heck most of the time I end up fishing with the individual I asked a question about there local waters. Welcome to iceshanty and enjoy.
No one left behind.

Welcome to all the new members!!  I have lived in Cheyenne for 31 years fishing most of the lakes/reservoirs in the eastern part of the state.  I also have a house in Glendo and spend considerable more time there than other lakes.  Being from Minnesota originally I miss winter and try to get as much ice fishing in as I can in this mild climate.   I escape to "real winter" very January and fish the Mobridge tournament in SD and sneak back to Wyoming and fish the Saratoga tournament.  Ice tends to go on late here and come off early.  Sometimes we get to fish first ice several times throughout the season!!  Please be safe out there! Usually fishing out of a big Blue Otter hub, feel free to stop on over.  Drive White Ram 3500  License plate 2 F1SH

Hello fellow fisherman, I’m Jason. Never posted on the site before, but I’ve scanned it for ice conditions and fish pics for a couple of years. I mainly fish Fontenelle and the Gorge. Headed up to fontenelle today to check a couple honey holes and jig the river for big hungry browns. Anyhow, great site. Keep it up.

Hi all! First year ice fishing in WY and very excited. We use to go almost every weekend when we lived in CO. Glad to be out of that state and calling Casper my new home! Excited to learn from people on here and maybe start going to tournaments again! Always a win when it's a day fishing right?
