Just an idea I noticed that the 25th and 26 was the Thompson chain of lakes tourney maybe we could all meet out there on the 25

I'd be down with LMR. I've only fished there once...years ago.

LEts see what the weather does. Maybe we will get another cold snap and lock up Swan b4 the proposed dates.

I'm good for some kind of get together to meet folks. Now that I am back home and done with family issues for awhile. LMR is good, the Thompsons is good, Swan is good if it ever freezes of good.

snakeyes_981984 · « **Reply #94 on:** Dec 29, 2013, 09:32 PM »

So are the dates still Jan 25 26

Thompson chain has way more opportunity for a big fish than LMR. Huge trout. Some of the biggest Kokes in the state and magnum pike:)

I'm ready to fish and meet that's forsure...the thompsons will be 4 hr.drive for me . I would just love to get one of those big thoothy ones. Oh and yes a 14" perch sounds good too.. I have some custon built tipups my fatherinlaw sent to me can't wait to use them.
I'm ok for a day trip any wear so lets hope for lots of ice somewhere.

Thompson Chain sounds great. Never fished there before. Is it just a one day get together, or go for the weekend?

oldschoolben · « **Reply #99 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 05:21 PM »

Sounds like a fun day trip! Let me know when, I'm interested.

icefsh2 · « **Reply #102 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 06:59 PM »

Haven't been up their in years. Does Happy's Inn Still rent cabins? Long drive for 1 day. Sounds like a great trip.

vicster · « **Reply #103 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 10:48 PM »

Noxon anyone. The list of species is long and distinguished and it grows them big. Ice is pretty good this year too and it would be cool to have a crew to try to figure out the walleye or lake whitefish that are there but no one seems to have dialed in yet.

BigSage · « **Reply #104 on:** Dec 30, 2013, 10:52 PM »

I'm up for Noxon as well. I hear there's a tourney at the Thompson Chain on the 25th. Not too sure if I want to fish with hundreds of others during a tourney on water I've never fished, but fishing with a group of Shanty-ites would rock.

snakeyes_981984 · « **Reply #105 on:** Dec 31, 2013, 06:25 PM »

The Thompson lake tourney is on that weekend and the first leg of the perch assault is also that saturday

Augusta · « **Reply #106 on:** Jan 01, 2014, 01:16 AM »

I was just saying I'd be interested in a meet up on one of the Thompson Chain lakes... I would be much much more likely to attend if it were a weekend when there weren't a bunch of people.

Maybe you guys can come up with a day that works for most that isn't during a derby...

Golden Trout · « **Reply #107 on:** Jan 01, 2014, 05:07 AM »

Hey there ice fishers,

I would like to join anybody in an area around or close to Kalispell. Any takers? I little about me, I am 24yrs old, have my own truck, hut, heater, fish camera, gas auger, and other fishing equipment. I am not picky on what to fish for, h.e.l.l. if you want to catch suckers all day I am up for it. I may forget to look at this post, so if your interested in putting some gills on the ice send me an inbox message as I just found out how to work that thing.

Don't count out the swan yet. One of the last to ice over. About 4 inches by the boat launch. Inch or two around the first pullout (coming from the north). North end is side open, but the ol timers I have spoken with have told me to never get on the ice that eventually does form. Because it is big and deep, swan takes a while. By the end of january, it should be more than ready. We have a cold snal this weekend too...

If you fish the Thompson chain be sure to do it before the tournament. Last year the fishing was great right up until they had a tournament which included spearing of pike which was kind of cool actually but after that tourney the fishing tanked for the remainder of the season. Not sure if it was due to the tournament or not but I fished it both before and after and the difference was remarkable.

I'm up for Noxon at least for a little while I would come and visit with you guys.

Ahhh! So that is what happened last year!! Good to know and it does make sense now that you mention it. There was a definite slow down.

missoulafish · « **Reply #111 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 02:53 PM »

Looks like the next few days will make more ice:)

missoulafish · « **Reply #112 on:** Jan 06, 2014, 10:40 AM »

TreeKiller · « **Reply #113 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 12:08 AM »
