The beaver ponds on the Snowy Range had ice as well this morning.  The north end of Rob Roy was trying to ice up.  Unfortunately its supposed to be 68 in Laramie on Saturday.

I don't know. I killed my elk at 11,550 feet elevation on Oct. 1.  Should have been 5 degrees F, was 78 degrees instead.   
At this rate we might not get ice until late january in water deeper than 100 foot.
Hope I'm wrong, I winterized the boat last weekend.

   4" of clear ice on the south end of Boysen by Nov. 26 and the fishin' should be excellent. Winter is coming in with a vengence. Get those augers fired up and the blades sharpened. We will be there in a wink.

I have some spots in mind hopefully thanksgiving weekend, if not 1st week of December for sure. the "eyes" are calln me now! ;D
Great thing about ice fishing is, if the fish don't bite at least you know the "BEER" will stay cold!

I am putting the boat on Glendo the day after thanksgiving I will let you know how the fishing is. Its alot eaiser to get to the spots with the 250HP than pulling the sled on the ice. I predict January before we drill any holes on Glendo this year.

It got to minus 14 last night here in Casper.  Hopefully it was just as cold or colder at Boysen.  Should be forming ice good.
