I am a 27 yr old father of 2 boys from Laramie. I mainly fish the Laramie Plains lakes. I have a hand auger, a hut and a few rods to offer. I will fish for anything that swims! Drive a green dodge Neon. Always interested in getting on the lake and fishing with new people :tipup:
-
Don, 37 in Douglas. Perfer perch, crappie, walleye and trout. Just love to fish. Glendo is not iced up yet, so willing to travel for ice and some pointers or company on new waters is appreciated.
-
:tipup: Howdy Don...say I can get loose during the week for some hardwater entertainment. Another nut for icefishing,I fish for walleye mainly and catch all others on accident. When the crappie and perch are going thats a blast too, and even like a good cat occasionally.

My name is Christine Peterson and I'm the outdoor reporter for the Casper Star-Tribune. I'm based in Laramie and wondered if any of you were getting together if I could come along for a story on ice fishing near Laramie.
Shoot me an e-mail: [email protected], if you're going out any time in January.
Thanks!

I am 21 years old going to school in Laramie originally from Casper.. I have a gas auger tip ups and quite a bit of other stuff ... I guide fly fisherman durin the summers and live to ice fish during the winter.. I am a walleye guy but realy I just like to catch fish! Big fish are even better ;) .. I have been trying to figure hattie out but its been bending me over hard since it iced up .. We did extremely well with flies the 3 weeks before it froze and now i cant catch a fish to save my life. So if anyone that is in the same boat or actually knows the lake i would love to figure it out!

I guess i will follow MM's orders about identifying people on the ice LOL. I fish by myself probably half the time. I'm either in a blue Dodge Megacab or a gold GMC sierra extended cab...and its usually dirty ;) . I always have a "Keeper Deluxe" chair with me out on the ice. Whether my dad's sitting on it or me. It's a chair with a tackle box, if you will, built in. (I'm sure most of you have seen them but if not there you go). Let's see, I'm always in all camo. Always have seclusion bibs on and most of the time the coat as well but as nice as it was the last few I was out I was down to my sweatshirt that is realtree something and says "CARROLL" across the front. I got this goofy lookin' beany for christmas that's blue with flames on it but it has now turned into my fishing hat. Live in Green River and almost ALWAYS fish the Flaming Gorge. Here's a pic.

I have a blue Shappell ice house 5000. Usually run 4 yellow frabill tip up out side the uth and driving either a blue Honda or an older white dodge ram.
going to pathfinder this week end and maybe a couple times this week
-
mike from cody. I drive a silver dodge, that was last cleaned in July...of '05. Have a frabill guardian, that I fish out of. If a flag goes up you won't see me calmly get my minnow bucket and ice scoop and go sauntering over to catch a fish. I still run and scream at the flag like a dork. Usually fish with my 6 year old son, who likes to run and scream too.

-

Hi folks, John here. I live just south of Cheyenne. ;) (yeah, my license plate sports a green bar along the top.) 1999 green superduty crewcab. When I'm heavy I'll have an Argo on tracks with a black canvas top. When light I usually drag a fishtrap. See me in my Argo and want a ride? Wave me down - no problem. Got an ATV/sled and want to pull my fishtrap for me? Stop for that too! ;D (summertime: green Lund - in case there are summer fisherman on here too.) Use to ice fish Glendo all the time but haven't been in a couple years. Often alone so I rarely have anyone to dump fish stories on.

I have to show my girlfriend this post to prove to her that there are actually WY female icefisherpeople. I've been trying to get her to join this forum the whole season. I should make her a deal.....I will watch Jersey shore with you if you go icefishing with me and post a report. Crossing my fingers....

Yes but then you would have to watch jersey shore! Hardly worth the trade off :p no I hope u can get her on here, we need more girls to be a part of our sport :)
-
Post up and reply if you want my other half to join the site.
-
I am all in for more girls to be fisherman. However, I agree with WForbes. Watching Jersey Shore might be the worst thing you have ever had to do. I would recommend eating a hot plate of garbage before watching that show.

I took my wife ice fishing (once) She hasn't been since. It was our first date. I owned the lake and would have 200 fish days. Got skunked that day, but caught one that I wanted to mount!

My friend has been bugging me to take her fishing. Whatta you guys think, the Gorge, Pathfinder, Alcova or Boysen? She's only like asked me 20 times. I told her that she'd have to drill all my holes for me if i took her out. :cookoo: maybe we could finally meet some of you guys!

Hey! I have this whole week off, not sure when you were planning on fishing. I'll be heading to the Gorge mostly, tomorrow open water shore fishing south of pipeline. Possibly Fremont in Pinedale the end of the week to get ready for the derby. Message me!

If you come to the gorge I'll make sure you get to meet that 307fisherman up there ^^^ and myself....and I've been told that's a treat.
In all seriousness for her first time out I would go to whichever lake is fishing the best. Nothing worse then wanting to go ice fishing and not catching anything. besides of course sitting at the house and not being out on the ice.

Samantha,Maybe you should take her to Bass,sounds like you and the farmer did pretty good there.There hasn't been much chatter around here about alcova and pathy but both of those ,as you know are real good producers of trout.I bet you could show her a good time at either one if you get a day the wind dont blow.Have fun and stay safe
Randy
-
I remember the first time I went ice fishing. I knew we weren't going to catch anything,because they weren't jumping. ;D ;D
I hope to meet you all on the ice someday.
-
Going to try Alcova between wrestling matches this weekend. Anybody else going??
-
hi all names justin live in riverton have 2 boys 3 and one that is 3 months so this year there will not be much winter fishing but might make it out to the wind river canyon but will love to see pics of all your outings
-
Justin, welcome! Olefish has a party down your way. Maybe we will see you there.
-
I think I'm going to Keyhole this weekend. Just a friend and I and it will be our first time on the lake this year. I'm going to go check the ice on Friday and if its bad I think we will just go to Healy. If anyone is going to Keyhole or Healy this weekend pm me and we can see who catches the smallest fish!!!
-
I was going to go to healy tomoro not sure the status on keyhole yet
-
I am 25 and usually bring my 2 year old son along to Firehole at the Gorge. If everything works out as planned I will be at Firehole Friday evening chasing the burbs with the whole family. Hopefully the Buddy will heat up our Clam well enough to serve as a playpen for the kids while I do my best to hand drill holes and not to get skunked. So if anybody sees the Family Circus/For Better or Worse taking place on the ice, please offer to drill us a few holes and we will share some of our grub!

I am Jay(35), haven't been ice fishing in at least 16 years. My college days and ski bum days are over and its time to start doing the family friendly stuff again. Dads ice fishing gear has been in the barn for at least 15 years, so I think I am going to have to buy all new gear this year. Planning on a trip to boysen this next week (probably thursday). Back in the day we did well in the coves around trout bay. Haven't heard much about the area but I figure I will give it a try. I will be in the grey gmc. and will most likely be pulling my 2 year old in his sled checking lines.

I am still a nube here so I cant pm you back I guess wyofarmer. My old mans gear is the 3 stick tip ups. I think they were home made. probably depends on what they were made of. If they are pine they are probably a little on the moldy side. The Jiffy auger is going to take some major work to get running. It only ran half the time 16 years ago, so not very hope full on that end .
-
Gordon Sawyer age 26. Drive a purple toyota tacoma. I live in Laramie and am always looking for people to ice fish with. I will have all my ice fishing gear this weekend. I have a good auger I won in a derby and lots of ice fishing poles and gear. If anyone wants to go fishing let me know!

I have ruffly 25plus tip ups, 5-10 ice poles, two augers 8" and 10", small stand up fribill ice shanty and a heavy duty one that we built for hattie that wont blow away. Its heavy but can sleep in it. Don't have a forwheeler. So I walk and pull my gear. Also has anyone heard about healy I've been working around the clock so haven't payed much attention. I hope I didn't miss it.

I am going to bring my wife answer kids out for there first ice fishing/wintercamping trip. I was kinda planning on Ocean but have been contemplating Boysen? You are going to ocean? What would you recommend for a family outing?
I havn't heard a lot of good about Boysen here lately and Ocean isn't much better. If you want to be left alone and drown some minners, hit Ocean. Boysen might have a slightly better chance hooking something. Good luck!

Headed to Pathfinder Saturday found out that they have been catching 3-5 pound trout around wolf point, early morning and slower during day but they are still hitting. :tipup:

Hey jed, Jesse Mc, fished with you lots, and a couple years ago at keyhole tourney and got super snickered in your hut in the dark, trying to catch a monster. I will prob be in Keyhole for the tourney again.

I fish at the Gorge, from the boatdock to Breeze Hill, if it gets ice. Tomorrow I'll be at swim beach until 4, then I'm going to the R.S. side of the confluence/Cherokee Trail till Sunday afternoon. Driving a maroon Dodge w/ 4 wheeler trailer. Good Luck!

Scott here heading for the Hut Party. Driving the white buick (Ya I know it is a grandma car, but the price was right) fishing out of a blue viking shelter.

Considering an easy trip to Healy or possibly Osage tomorrow. Rumor is a storm may be coming in. KH is an option too I guess. Anyone planning on being out tomorrow on one of the three?
-
I am 21 years old going to school in Laramie originally from Casper.. I have a gas auger tip ups and quite a bit of other stuff ... I guide fly fisherman durin the summers and live to ice fish during the winter.. I am a walleye guy but realy I just like to catch fish! Big fish are even better .. I have been trying to figure hattie out but its been bending me over hard since it iced up .. We did extremely well with flies the 3 weeks before it froze and now i cant catch a fish to save my life. So if anyone that is in the same boat or actually knows the lake i would love to figure it out!
Willie, It's Seth Lee. How's it going buddy?? Should try to get together on the ice one of these days!! Holler at me if you want to hit Pathy or Seminoe one weekend.
-
SLEE thought you were BOB. Must have been taking the pics. weird.
-
Yea Bob caught most of em' so I figured he should be in the pics!!

Hey all. Newbie here. I'm Dave from sheridan. I've mostly been fishing tongue river rez up in Montana so far. Tagging along with my buddy jeff. This is my first year ice fishing and i'm slowly getting gear together. But what i lack in gear i try to make up for by doing as much of the work as i can. So if you want somebody to pack your gear hit me up. I'm up for any sheridan area lakes. Also if you see me on the lake i'm the tall younger guy with the goatee fishing with the older shorter guy. I drive a silver dodge but most of the time we're in jeff's green dodge.

Live in Cheyenne, just moved back from the midwest so I'm newer to icefishing (but addicted). Family man, have a pop-up shelter, hand auger, Vex FL-12, and about 3 rods at this time. Looking to get into the ice fishing community in this state. I'm a Firefighter so my schedule is pretty fisher friendly. Hope to see some of ya' out there and maybe fish a time or two with ya'. :thumbsup:
-
Welcome to the Wyoming Shanty Boowee! I don't get down to that part of the State often though I'm certain you'll be meeting fellow IS members close to you. My son is a volunteer firefighter back home, so a huge thanks for your community service! :clap: :thumbsup: :tipup:
-
Welcome to the Shanty Boowee! Glad to have ya here.

Thank you, glad to be here. Glad that I found a resource like this!!!

Where do you reside and spend time on the ice Boowee
-
Reside in Cheyenne, but I'm already looking at my Wyoming Atlas & Gazetteer and planning on places to drive to this winter. This is obviously my first Wyoming ice fishing year so It'll take me some time I'm sure to find my favorite spots. But I'm pumped to get started.

Well by Wyoming standards you;re not too far from a number of good spots. Glendo can be good, but sketchy ice at times. Then there's Boysen and Ocean near Riverton and there are threads on fishing around Laramie as well. You might give the fellers at PK Lures (http://www.pklures.com/index.php) a holler (ofc pick up some rainbow Flutterfish lures in 3/8oz too!) they're from Cheyenne and do a TON of hardwater. Between the Wyoming Fishing Reports and Conditions (http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?board=205.0) thread and a few contacts here, you'll find many places to set up on.

-
Welcome Boowee! I'm also from Cheyenne. Granite and Crystal usually have sturdy ice early in the season. Don't count out Sloans, with a variety of fish and large rainbows it can be fun. Start watching the threads for updates on all the lakes closer to Thanksgiving. Hope to see you out on the ice!
-Sixxer
-
Thanks Sixxer!!! I'm sure we'll see eachother out there, I got some new gear this year so I'm ready to use it!!! Catch up with ya' later.
-
Starting to see some activity here on the shanty board !!!! Gets ya a little excited...... it will be a while yet before we see some hard water......but I was in the pole barn the other day & looked up on the shelf to make sure the shelter, Vexilar & other gear was still there....maybe I should go put a charger on the vex for a little while.
-
Put the boat away and moved the hut into prep mode. I have a new Lowrance Elite 5 ice with GPS and look foreward to putting it to work. The challenge this year is fishing totally new water with the low water conditions.
-
New to the site as of last year, but didn't have time to post much due to finishing the basement of our house and my wife giving birth to our first child. Currently live in Riverton and work as a hydrologist. Grew up in glacial lake country in northeast SD ice fishing for walleye, perch, and pike. Needless to say, that spoiled me, so I've spent most of my time on the ice out here chasing trout and largemouth bass. Usually fish alone, but am eager to try out Bull and Dinwoody Lakes on the reservation for trout and ling. If anybody plans on hitting those two lakes with regularity this winter or needs a fishing partner for anywhere else in the area, shoot me a message because I'd definitely be up for splitting gas and bringing equipment (i.e., big flip over shack, gas auger, heater, Marcum LX-5, tons of poles, etc.) Thanks, and tight lines to all!
-
Hey HydroGuy! I don't hit Bull or Dinwoody, but did want to say welcome to the Shanty and if you get up to the NE, drop me a PM. :tipup:
-
Gonna be heading up to the Snowies and possibly Owen Saturday! Have to test out the new gear and make sure everything is in working order. Probably going to try to fish high but if the road is closed will resort to Owen. I'll be in Red Eskimo Pop-up style hut with a small Plywood/ski sled, and red dodge mega cab pick up with CO plates (I know :) ) Let me know if you'll be up there!

Anybody up for a Boysen trip this week... Tues.,Wed., or Thurs. Shoot me a pm or call my cell. The number is on the resort listings.

I'm thinking about running up to Custer, SD Wens. AM 12/12, hit Stockade and Bismark. (Perch, bass, crappies and northerns) if someone would like to check it out. I will stop by the Osage Power plant and LAK and check the ice on the way by. Will be back around darkish. Leaving from Moorcroft.
-
I bet LAK is froze up pretty good not sure on the others tho but its been cold enough for a bit now.
-
LAK is fishable by my standards. Didn't stop by Osage, some moron train guy had the blocking crossed. I'd never do that! :whistle:
-
lol darn them train guys lol so it must have 3-4 inches then huh

I find myself in Jackson from Feb. 15th to the 17th. I'm not sure what my schedule is but I would love to sneak out on to the ice somewhere. I don't have a WY license as of yet, but can be easily obtained. I can't bring much in the way of equipment, but I can bring any micro brew/ fish attractant. Hook a fellow fisherman up!
-
Anyone want to make a Boysen trip this week and share expenses? I was thinking Tues. or Wed.
-
Hey, new to the area, but definitely have experience fishing hard water. Grew up in Eastern SD fishing all the great perch and walleye lakes. Hoping to try my hand on some lakes around Wyoming. I'm living around the Casper area so definitely interested in trying Alcova and Pathfinder. I've got some gear, but working on finishing the rest of the collection. If you know anyone looking to upgrade their Auger or Shack, send me a PM as I am all for buying used.
The past 2 days have been 30mph wind with 40mph gusts, I can only imagine some shacks sliding across the ice when I see this wind. Good luck fishing.
-
I'll be out on Keyhole tomorrow morning. If anybody wants to say howdy I'll be in a Green F250 with WY plates that say F250. Not sure if I'll be on the pine haven or wind creek side yet. I'll have my Clam Nanook with me too. If you call me FishWyo I'll know what you're talkin about but my given name is Cody.
-
Planning on making a trip to Keyhole Monday the 16th...won't be able to be on the ice until 10 or so, anybody going and want to meet up? Not planning on targeting anything specific but would like to get into some perch/croppie and the occasional eye. :tipup: (Black hut, gray Denali Truck)

Welcome to the Ice Shanty hansonjb! There should be some awesome Lake Trout fishing around your area. Let us know how you do, I'd like to come over to that area but probably not this season though... Best of success to you!
- wyoutdoors :tipup:
-
Myself and my good fishing buddy are headed to Pathfinder on Jan. 18 to do a little fishing, we could probaby use some tips and advise because we are not from the area, we live in Gillette and would like to meet some other ice fishing freaks. Thanks
-
If anyone wants to meet up and/or car pool from Rock Springs I plan on heading up tomorrow. Leaving town around 7-730. Ganna hit the river below the dam then ice the East side of the lake somewhere near the dam. Won't have the hut but will have a yellow lab and a black/yellow PFD unless there are other fishermen. PM me if interested
-
Hoping to get out this weekend and do some fishing. Fairly new to the sport. Just got all of my gear this year!!! Fished the Sunshine derby last year and was hooked. Anyone know where I can get into some crappie or perch? I have fished Bighorn Lake this year and have had a nice catfish, several sauger, and a ling take the bait, but would like to try some new water. Point me in the right direction and I will gladly share fish stories ;D

Come to Boysen and enjoy the hut BBQ and I am sure you can learn a little more about ice fishing.. Look at the hut party page at the top.
-
Headed to Hattie Monday. Will have either the red hub or the black flip up and hitting different holes. Most likely will be by myself. Driving a tan Suburban with Laramie county plates. Swing on by.
-
Hello Everyone! My name is Dylan. Is anyone interested in fishing North Crow Reservoir next weekend (1/25 or 1/26)? With the snow blowing around the trail may in may or may not have been made drivable... I am game to walk in if necessary.
-
What snow? You should be good!

Wheres a good place for lakers I have never been ice fishing wanna give it a try. Then I can start taking the kids.
-
redbowhunter you can post that your Laker question in the main forum below to receive more responses. This is the Invite and Find Me On The Ice forum. So if you're heading to a lake you can post in here where you'll be and others may meet up with you, or vice versa.

The closest to Riverton is probably Louis Lake on south pass, the lakes around pinedaleonline or flaming gorge
-
Hello everyone. I figured this would be a good place to start. I retired from the military and moved here to Casper. This will be my first year ice fishing and would like to get some incite from a few experienced ice fishermen. I would like to meet some new people that enjoy fishing as much as I do. I would like to get some info before the ice sets in so can make sure I have all the gear needed. Thanks!

Welcome to the Ice Shanty Chipper77! There are quite a few in your area who would certainly help you out, but if you ever get up to the Gillette or Buffalo area I'd be more than happy to take you out on the ice. All you would need are warm clothes as I have plenty of gear and shelters if needed. Use some of my gear, see what you like, and then start picking up a few pieces as you need them.
- wyoutdoors :tipup:
-
Welcome to the shanty chipper77, you will have no problem with getting all the advice/help/recomendations you'll need on the Wyo board. Good group of fellow anglers there and as wyoutdoors said quite a few around casper
-
Thanks for the offer wyoutdoors. I have bought most of the stuff needed and then some. I still might take you up on fishing in that area. I will need as much help as I can get. Thanks for the support muskyon46. I've dealt with a lot of good people here in Casper. Figured this site was full of good folks as well.
-
Welcome aboard chipper77. The amount of knowledge you'll gain through this site is amazing. If your ever in the pinedale area let me know and we'll go out and catch some fish!
-
Thanks massNtrash. I know what you mean. I've been reading old post for a while and had learned a lot. All of this is new to me being from East Texas. It's fun though. I have spent a lot of money already but being ex military I bought more than I should just because trying to be prepared for every situation. If you're ever in Casper let me know I always love having a cold one and BS'ing.
-
Anybody hitting cheyenne lakes today? Looking for Anybody to go with. Just checked sloans 3" ice looks better on asabarakas?? Not sure how to spell it but it was about 4". Let me know if your headed out.
-
I think I might it out a little but later today. Let me know where you go and I will come say hi.
-
Actually, I am warming up this car right now. Will probably just go to sloans. Will be somewhere we tween community house and ramp. Green Subaru, will be wearing a blue ice suit.
-
See ya there silver vw
-
Well, soon Buffalo Bill Reservoir will freeze over and some folks will go out to fish. I would like to go out but I have no auger and I don't think they let me shoot a hole into the Ice LoL... So who is going and can you share an Auger with a friend?
It will be me and Susy's first time out on the Ice as I am from Florida....
Also, I not only want to fish for Trout.. but Walleye.. I have an experimental lure that I think works great... tried it at Deaver and got good results...so
let me know if anyone will be available after the freeze... Also I am going to make a new YouTube video of our Ice Fishing Experience so I think it will be cool... hope to go this year..
Thanks and good fishing out there...
Johnny Quest - Out!
-

-
Live in Casper I fish Alcova, Pathfinder, Glendo, and Boysen. I am not a purest will catch anything, but love Walleye.
-
Heading up to Healy this afternoon to check on ice and search out perch and tiger musky if anyone wants to swing by, blue suit pulling a sled. If you find a large hole in the ice there should be a nice FL-20 flasher and a Strike-Lite II auger nearby! ;D

Hey, Trent, this is Randy man. Do me a favor and shoot Friebel a text when you get back on Friday... let him know if there is fishable ice in Halfway Hollow or the Honey Hole (or wherever you guys go). We are headed out on Sunday, to wherever there is ice.
I need to hook up with you and your dad and do some fishing this year!
Thanks and good luck on Friday.
-
Hey guys I am going to set up shop at Firehole, leaving today an will be there for a while, through the weekend at least. I have a red Eskimo Quickfish, a dark green one ton ford and a white 28 ft camper. Come say hi!! I drove down yesterday an drilled a hole at the boat ramp, 6 to 7 inches of good ice.
-
muskyon we are headed to blacksfork side.
Randy we should all try and plan that new years trip. Haven't done it in a few years. I will let you know the conditions of the ice.
-
Thanks, Trent. I appreciate it. And yes, a New Years fishing trip would be good!
-
Right on trent thanks, good luck tomorrow @)
-
3 inches of hardwater on Hattie. I augered about 30 ft of shore tonight. Look for me there Saturday or tomorrow if it's not too windy.
-
Might be heading to one of the plains lakes on Saturday. If anyone from cheyenne or laramie wants to meet up and ride together, shoot me a message.

Hi everyone! My first post. I live near Cody and fish upper & lower Sunshine, Bighorn Lake, and Buffalo Bill (when it has ice). Pretty new to the sport, but have all my basic equipment and trying to learn the ropes. Headed this weekend with the wife to fish either DeSmet or Healy Reservoir near Buffalo. Any suggestions? All my best to you and your families during the holidays.

-
Granite has been fishable since thanksgiving.

Hey guys and gals! I live in Jackson Hole and typically fish the surrounding lakes, especially Jackson Lake and Palisades down south near Alpine and is also located in Idaho (so an Idaho license is needed when heading out there). This year I'd like to get more familiar with different lakes and expand my horizons. I'm thinking about sledding up to Brooks Lake on Togwotee Pass and try to get down to Fremont near Pinedale.
This is my first post and SO happy to have found this amazing site while researching the new red and black FatFish Eskimo 767i that I purchased vs. the 949i. So look for that on the ice if you're ever in the area. Usually I'm the only one or 1 of very few on the lakes. I drive a red Toyota Tacoma.
Jackson Lake Report: I went out yesterday afternoon on Catholic Bay. There's about 6-8" of ice and somebody had already been out there to drill 6 holes, but only about 40 yards off the shoreline. This is the first part of the lake to freeze. I would say it's still a bit unsafe to waltz out there. Hopefully with the single-digit and below zero temps we've had, this weekend or next will be go time!
-
This weekend I'm venturing out of my comfort zone and heading to keyhole. I have fished this lake in the summer, but never hard water. Driving a blue dodge 24' enclosed trailer. I am specifically targeting northerns. But crappie and walleyed are cool also. Yellow 4 wheeler, blue pop up, and frabill flip over, stop and say hello.
-
Anyone been fishing at Glendo?
I'm thinking about headed down there tomorrow
-
MJA where will you be playing at? I may be able to help with the northerns
-
Headed out to Hattie for some fun on the ice tonight and sat. Was wondering if the water is clear enough to warrant bringing my Pan Cam? Thanks
-
Anybody heading to Saratoga next weekend for the derby?
-
Still up in the air on the Saratoga Derby.
-
Healy on Sunday. Taking a friend and his son, may have the JM 5000 set up. Stop by if you're out there.
-
Anyone want to meet up at Greyrocks on Thursday?
-
Desmet or Healy on Friday if anyone is interested.
-
44 yr old guy here. Haven't ice fished for over 25 yrs. used to catch those little trout at crystal and granite. I picked up a couple of rods and a bunch of jigs.
Would like to fish glendo and possibly have some of the tech savy guys get me up to speed on all the new technology.
Thanks

save the spud and dipper, use a tipup or two when you can. Save up for a fish finder. Find a buddy that knows how to catch fish and feed him cookies and milk every chance you can.

Hoping to try that lake we talked about. 55MPH winds might have some say on that, however!

Dang, I hope it isn't that windy, or else I am sitting at home.

Hi All, New to the site. I just bought an auger and a Marcum LX-5i this year. I have been ice fishing a few times with friends but no much. I'm out of Worland or Sheridan depending on the weekend and what's going on. Would like to fish Tongue River and Boysen a lot more this year.
-

-
Going to try glendo tomorrow.
-
how's the weather been?
-
Putting this out there for all the Hut partyers on Boysen. I'll be some where on Fremont to the Sisters islands. Chasing the jumbo perch. If you can help me on my goal Goal. I'm trying to find the 2 plus pounder. I want one, never found one yet. I'll ask and take what I can get.
-
Wow 2lb perch???? I have never caught one in 30+ years so good luck. North Muddy or trout bay????
-
Heading up to Granite today with my little girl. Red eskimo popup Quickfish3. Drop on in if you're around.

Hey guys and gals! I just turned 35, have all my own gear and fish mostly around Jackson Hole and Palisades near Alpine, Wyoming. I'm will to try a few new places this winter to expand my horizons. I'm thinking Brooks lake up on Togwotee Pass, which is a snowmobile in only during the winter. I guess you could walk that and pull your stuff in, too. But that would be a workout! I'm also wanting to get down around Pinedale and check out some of those lakes. Could be fun! Hit me up on the Jackson/Teton or Palisades forums where I'm usually active or just PM me. Happy fishing!

-
Hell of a perch Doz601! I have caught a handful over 2 pounds but cheated and went to cascade to do it. Best I've done out of Wyoming I think is 1.5 or so. I actually won the perch category of the iceshanty tourney last year with a 16 1/2" 2.64 pound monster I caught on Cascade.
-
Nice one doz601, nothing wrong with cascade to get the pigs. What a great trip that was last year Ryan. There's a few going again this year but I'm opting out so I can make it up for way too fish live bait on tip ups for walleye. Looking like the 1st weekend in March. I'll keep you posted
-
Thanks fellas this is the kind of fish we hunt for at boysen she was 14.78 1lb 10oz
-
Walter, 32 from douglas. Always looking to get on the hard water. Also looking for new fishing buddies. I own my own tackle, rods, hut and power auger. So if your around the area let's fish
-
Welcome to the Shanty Waltman85! :tipup:
-
Doz, you'll hate this. This is the only 15"er I've ever witnessed get pulled out. Granted we didn't show him off well in the pic but he was closer to 15 1/2 than 15 1/4. We ate him and never weighed him. After getting home I looked up the perch record and saw it was 15 1/4. I don't think this fish had the girth to be the record and maybe not even 2 lbs, but it's fun to say we ate the record hahaha.

Good job Trent and pops. There are some hogs in there. We’ve been hitting keyhole pretty hard. Brought home a nice limit of panfish on Monday and probably gonna spend Christmas Day up there. Might hit pathfinder tomorrow after church. Stay safe
-
This was a couple years ago and my soon to be step dad. His name is Randy Calkins and is the one with the lake trout record so he's got the gift lol.
-
That is a toad! Hope to see you again soon on the Gorge. Merry Christmas!
-
Hey guys...? You're awesome!
Would you mind if I replicate your "Invites/Find Me" as a WI version? One of the best parts of fishing is the social aspect. The one where you actually meet people face to face and spend some time. I had the opportunity to do that this year with a guy from here and I can't wait to do it again. And it doesn't matter who until they prove otherwise. Had a great time with kayl and will do that again!
Two thumbs up Wyomingites! :thumbsup:

I've been going solo to desmet on the north end every weekend day for six weeks now and plan to do so until the ice is gone. if anyone ever wants to join or is bored of also being solo i am there in a blue dodge from before sun up to sundown. never hurts to meet another fellow ice fisherman and maybe even share tips and tricks.
-
If anyone wants a fishing partner, looking for new spots to film videos for the channel, and do some awesome fishing, of course. Looking for someone who knows their body of water and is willing to have a pleasant person to fish with, dragging along camera gear :)
-
Hey Wyoicehole! Loving your YouTube channel. I fish SE/Central Wyoming all the time during open water season, and mostly stick to SE region through the ice but looking to venture to the central part of the state this season. I'd love to join in on some trips with you or others! Based out of Fort Collins, CO and willing to travel.

Looking for a partner to fish the keyhole tournament the weekend of January 20th. Preferably someone that can fish lol. I have the garmin a two man otter and extra flasher if needed. It's a two man tournament. Would be great if the partner had some transportation for on the ice. Been doing well and will have the 2 days before the tournament off if said person wants to pre fish a couple days. Need to be signed up before the 15th
