I fished it the last two days. About 4-5" of ice right now. Yesterday there was 3" of slush above the ice. Today that had crusted over making for an interesting experience.

fished about three hours each day. caught about 35-40 total fish. About half rainbow and half perch. one sucker. most of them on the smaller side. good to get out though.

EGRA. Sorry about that. Had it in my head this was a general Bozeman areas threat. I have not been to the Bozeman Pond yet.
