Wanted to wish you big sky ice fisherman merry xmas. we have 5 to 6 in of good ice here in maine and have had our ice shack out for 6 days now. the fishing is good, but will get better in a few weeks. My family and i vacationed in great falls the first week of aug 05 and had one great time. The state fair was great and Yellowstone was something else. We will be back again in a few weeks. do not let montana changed, its just as special as our great state of Maine !!!!!
