-
Must be getting cold in poky.
-
Im alive, itchen to the fishen, and ready
-
I'm still hanging in there; ready, willing, and able (so far). But right now, it's full out waterfowl until the marshes freeze solid. ;D
-

Sorry to confuse. Just gettin' a read on which of our Idaho buddies are active on the site.

No worries! Our IS buddies from south of the border are all welcome up here! ;D :thumbsup:
Good to hear from you. Besides, I lurk on the Utah board all the time. ::)
Tight lines!

Anyone hear from the Idaho Gator this year? I hope he is doing well.

Good deal. Thanks Steve!
-
I'm around. Slow but around. Going through the summer tackle box and putting together the ice box.
-
Thanks for the shout and good vibes, fellows. :thumbsup:
Even though rounding 80 was just another day, its pleasant as ice nears. :icefish:
The weather guessers say a mild winter is ahead but, we're unstoppable.
Bring it on! :flex: ;)2

I've had the itch since March....
For the first time in a while I don't plan on making any large purchases. Last year I bought a 2nd finder (Humminbird ICE 35, love it; my other is an older showdown that still works great) and the year before a new shanty (Frabil, last suitcase style I could find. I really like having a floor). I have a really good hand auger (6 inch lazer) so no need for a power one.
Though I could use a few more rods and more jigs.....hmmmm...haha.

I am back . Living in Island Park . As soon as there is 3" of safe ice I will post a report on Henry's

Good to see your name pop up! Hope you have had a good year.
-
Gears been cleaned and accounted for. A couple new things added and a bunch of stuff still wanted!
-
I had a second ankle surgery in September, but should be good by the time the ice arrives! This year we are really going to try to make a trip to Cascade. Does anyone know when the season typically kicks off there? (Historically)
-
I'm still hanging out to the east of you guys. Trying to pass the time with some of these guys until we freeze up. It was in the single digits here this morning though!

I predict a blockbuster ice season. The squirrels around my neighborhood are everyone all at once i.e. extremely busy. They are, the squirrels, working really hard to survive the coming bad winter with below normal temps and the coming hard winds from the North. We should all buy extensions for our ice augers and upgrade our heaters. Somehow I am hoping my ice fishing skills will see me through coming onset of global cooling that will usher us into the next ice age.

Has anyone stopped in Cabela's to see if they have their gear out yet? Sportsman's in Twin had their stuff out already (though I think they got some more to come...hopefully).
I was thinking of a trip to Boise Saturday but if they don't have stuff out yet I could wait another week.
-
They have some stuff out here in utah
-
Ice fishing gear is right up front, near the fish tank in the Boise store.
:tipup:

Did Muskey answer yer question?

Awesome Bullpine. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm an hour north of the border, highs in the mid 30's and lows into the teens, its getting closer! I can't wait.
-
Thanks Muskyon, been over that hill a bunch but never knew the name.
-
No prob, I watched that cam a bunch before we headed up last year to get an idea on snow depth
-
18 Degrees just South of Cascade this morning!
-
I'm still up here in the far north, getting things ready for first ice. new line, jigs, charging batteries, made a couple of those mouse jackers to try out. We have snow on the ground in boundary county this morning so that will help cool off the water temps, now all we need it a good cold snap. tight lines everyone ;)
-
I am still around. Looking forward to some good ice. I hope it happens. The last two years were pretty poor for good ice.
-
Yep, waiting for cold. Saw my first ice today. The first three feet from the bank of American Falls were frozen this morning. Melted by noon.
-
Impatiently awaiting!
tick-tock, tick-tock....
-
Thankfully I was already able to scratch the itch at Henrys on Wednesday ;D ;D

I'm here and ready!
-
Getting close up on the border, forecast for next week is looking good.
-
Working swing shift now, so I’m hoping I can get something to freeze close to home. Plenty of time for me to fish now!
-
I will be elk hunting until November 30 . Then game on at Henry's. I live 15 miles from the lake .
-
On and ready. Next 2 weeks forecast looks good esp. towards the border. Bring it on.
-
Oh man... cant wait!
-
Still pretty warm here in Mtn Home, but wanting to give Henry’s a shot maybe this year. Keep the reports rolling, love to see you guys getting after them already.
-
I'm in. Just waiting. Bought a new Ice shack, Eskimo Quikfish 5, at Sportsmans. Great sale price.
-
back again, and ready for hardwater!
-
Ready for freezing weather. COLD COLD COLD is the only report I want to hear!
-
I am more than ready! Should be on the frozen lid within the next two weeks I would suspect. Looking forward to Cascade again this season, amongst a few others plus my third trip in as many winters to ice it up in Minnesota in mid January!
-
I'm here and excited to try some new places!
-
Been a lurker for a while now and I think this may be my first post. Headed out to Henry's with a buddy that just moved back to Idaho from Florida. Excited to hit the ice for the first time
-
I hope we have good ice by xmas!

Just waiting for weather to improve- don't look good for awhile- Black foot Res has dissapointed- going to Bear Lake for Ciscoes- no ice this year- looks like Cascade & Payate are getting rain/snow- probably go to Flaming Gorge to help thin out Macs!
-
Planning a trip to twin lakes or sportsmen’s park onFeb 9th. All are welcome to join if you want.
