You might be from Minnesota if....
« on: Jan 02, 2011, 03:26 PM »


You strap your Fish Trap and Jiffy to the roof while you move to Montana  ;D 

I finally made it out here, got my fishing stuff, guns, brewing gear, and guitars...dont think I need much else besides my waterfowl decoys. Went and did a little recon work at the area ponds and went up to hyalite seen a few guys out, went to a fly shop and wholesale sports today inquiring about ice fishing....pretty sure they thought I was high for even considering ice fishing... so as soon as i land me a job i'll be able to afford the non-res license. Looking forward to meeting some of you on the ice around Bozo... take care! _ Justin

Welcome aboard! I grew up fishing Lake Minnetonka. There's great ice opportunity around Bozeman.

Welcome,  I was born in northern Minnesota and moved to Montana when I was 9.  I also lived in Bozeman for a year, it's a good place but Missoula would have been a better choice if you are into icefishing and girls as Bozeman is a little scarce on both.  But, Bozeman is still a cool town and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Broke down and bought a license... tried hyalite for a few hours than went out to the bozeman beach for a couple hours after dark....pretty slow, hopefully tomorrow produces, but it sure beat sitting in my apartment twiddling my thumbs.
