Montana Ice Shanty Get Together
« on: Mar 15, 2007, 11:00 AM »
I know I a proposing this a little late in the year but I noticed that a lot of the other states are having get togethers of their members from the shanty.  I thought I would see if there is any interest from the MT members.  I know there is a lot more Montana people that view these forums than actually post regularly and it would be cool to get you guys there too.  This is an open invitation to anyone interested.  Call it an end of the season bash. Is there any interest?

Where did you want to fish walltrout? I may drag my boat out on the ice and fish out of it just in case we break through! Jeez you really are in denial aren't you?  :cookoo:

I don't know.  I was just seeing if anyone was interested.  I figured we could go from there.  The boat idea ain't bad.  Hmm....  I registered for MFF but I am waiting for my account to be approved.

That's an awesome idea.  Maybe we could cut a hole in the bottom of your boat so we could jig too.   ;D

I haven't fished it, but I do know there some pigs in there, from info I got from a friend of mine who owns a fly shop in West Jellystone.  But I'm not against giving it a try.

Count me in as well.  A bit of water in Central Mt. would be good for all, travelling would be equalized for East and West.

All right guys, I think the time has come to start the wheels rolling on this one, maybe everyone can offer up their preferred waters and preferred date & we can vote on when and where? Let's see how many MT IS members we can put on the ice at once!

I have been thinking about this too.  I think Canyon Ferry would be centrally located and has a good population of most types of fish. (trout, ling, walleye, some notherns, perch).  There is ample room to camp or there are places to stay in Helena or Townsend.  Although I would be willing to consider other places too.

That date works for me.  We should have good ice out there by then.

CF is a little far for my gas guzzler, but there aren't really any places more centrally located with lodging close by.

Hey!  I will go to CF if I am not somewhere else.  Count me in.  The date is not important as long as it doesn't interfear with my trip to Ft. Peck in Feb.

All sorts of crude and obscene replies to this came to mind but I thought I better not.... there's a goddess in the house.
