Hello, new to forum and Ice fishing

[IPAinmyveins]

Hi everyone!

I'm getting some beginner gear and watching craigslist of other deals, starting to get excited about getting out on the ice!  I'll probably try going to Chambers Lake sometime soon (based in Fort Collins), any tips for a newbie?

I'm enjoying all the great information on the forum and hopefully I can contribute soon!

For chambers:  snow shoes if you can, standard 3” tubes, 2-3” are good too,  tip with sucker meat, I’ve used large spoons but have better luck with the large roadrunner jig heads and 3” white or chartreuse curly tail jigs.  I fish in deep water on the north east side of the lake but not in a few years.

Welcome to hard water fishing, IPA.  Get a couple more posts so I can PM you, and I'll see if we can work out something so I can take you over to North Park and get you started.

That sounds great, none of my current friend group ice fish so I'd love to learn from people with experience!  I haven't been able to find how many posts i need to unlock PM's (and I don't want to just spam) but I'm going to try to build a smitty sled this weekend and go fishing so hopefully I'll have some content (sled build, lake conditions, a hole in the ice pic) to share.
