Getting closer and closer-
« on: Nov 20, 2017, 08:57 AM »
This was my last open water day at the high lakes.  Inlet froze all the way to S-cove.  Stayed all day long prolly still there-
Me, Bro, Nephew, Ray and Ninja met up for the 1st annual Sac hanging party.
Between us we landed at least 50 trout, biggest at 5lbs or so, missed the same amount, got a few on metal not that we tried very hard hucking. It was chilly early and most of the day. Lots of ice on the lake, was still there when we left.

Great day with friends, lots of funning' and screwin' around.

Rough looking crew but some mighty respectable fish. I see that the sacs are labeled as "caviar". Nothing but the best will do.
We're born, we live for a while, and then we die.  Sounds like a good reason to go ice fishing.

I'll grant you the Stones. At least the wind wasn't howling yet.
I was at a nice fish restaurant in Florida a couple of weeks back. The couple next to us ordered some trout caviar as a starter with their cocktails. When the order came I whispered to my wife "I know that smell. Pautzke's Balls o' Fire Yellow Jackets".
 You boys are out of my league.

Looking at the weather for a particular spot: Sat, 12/9 is my prediction for safe ice to do some perch pounding.  You heard it here first!   ;D

I’m worried it’s going to be closer to xmas. Things can lock up pretty quick where it’s shady though.

It's gonna take a pretty good freeze for the perch spots to be safe, just saying. I would take the over in any Co perch lakes being good to go in 2 weeks.

I am thinking of checking it out this weekend.  Open water style I am sure given how warm it will be.

Not yet Johnny.  And it might be a while.  Hiked in there today...not even skim ice at 10 am.  Beautiful day.  Caught only one brown, 14"...didn't get a perch.  I was hoping to assess the perch size.  Water is higher than last year.  I caught a bunch of open water perch last year but couldn't get to my good perch spot, even with waders.  Tough with only fly gear, too.  :)  Hope this place is ready before Christmas when I go to visit wife's fam in Texas for 2 weeks.
