Title: And So It Begins..........
Post by: Wyoming_Ice on Nov 17, 2009, 11:03 PM: I drove by Fonenelle today and discovered the North end ( up by the Seedskadee sign ) has ice. I didn't have time to check it out. It wasn't there a week ago, so if you go, PLEASE check it first.
Lippy said that the City Res above Kemmerer is capped. Again, This is new ice.
It won't be long now.
Be safe. :tipup:

Wyo Ice

After doing my work on Boysen out of the Lander office, from what I saw, there are two other sustainable populations in there. With the high amounts of shoreline vegetation, bass and bluegill are actively reproducing in Boysen. I doubt much will come of it with all the predators in there already, but ya never know ;D

Post by: ryaninwy on Nov 24, 2009, 04:32 PM: heck i didnt know there was bass and bluegill in there. but you learn something new everday....

Post by: rbmchief on Nov 30, 2009, 10:09 AM: Made it out on Boysen yesterday, 3 1/2" of ice, was a touch scary but it was pretty unproductive, not enough ice to get anywhere worth fishin yet, Next weekend though!
