how long with these temps does it typically take to form good enough ice to fish on. just gettin ancy. the 7 day lookin pretty good for temps.
Too many variables at play and temps are only a part of the battle. Check out the Montana Ice Fishing Conditions for each lake that you are interested in to see how each one is coming along. I fish about 12 different places and each one is unique and a few fluctuate daily going from fishable one day to dangerous the next even with consistently low temps. When in doubt, please play it safe. Have a great year!
Man that light switch flicked quick. 57 yesterday, -8 tonight. Luckily had all my gear prepared way ahead of time. Not.
