241,
This spot is a haul, I had to hunt for it and we were under 5 miles from Canada.   Pond is WAY to small to be posting its location online.  Sorry buddy.

Nice play H1D.....Keep that little gem to yourself or it may get interneted to death by the people that can't find somewhere to fish by doing their own recon.....Seems like that's a thing of the past anymore !!

Right on Spitzo.  I won't tell anyone where I'm catching fish anymore because social media & the internet are killing fisheries.  I've been called an *##hole for telling people to do their own "recon".

Oh I bet he will be here soon. Whole new batch of drone footage from all of our favorite honey holes. And the names of the places in all caps to make it easier for people to google.

very logical question for you to have asked. you have to laugh about the attitudes here though.

I don't mind sharing places I fish, but when the place is so dang small it doesnt make sense to post it on the internet.  That's how places get fished out.  Look at Holter as an example, people post pics of buckets of Jumbo perch and teo years later the perch population is destroyed.  I like to enjoy the places I fish for a long time.

Good for you! One of my favorite things about ice fishing is solitude. It is far too easy loose that if one is not careful.

I found ice on Saturday, 4 inches with a little snow cover in one area and 3 inches crystal clear in another area.  Fishing was hot, in full view of a highway, had the place to myself but I don't expect that will last long.  And no I'm not going to say where but it is in MT.   I just might be there again this coming weekend, the clear ice looked like open water from the highway so hopefully those that drove by think I am crazy and folks will stay clear for a while  ;D

At this very moment there are 380 unregistered guests viewing the forum and 83 registered members.

I wouldn't be advertising where those fish were caught either.

Exactly, lots of people google searching and up pops a forum or post.  Next thing you know there are a dozen people out on your honey hole and fishing is never the same.  I love the peaceful solitude of ice fishing.  Still enjoy the hectic derby's too but winter is my time to get out and away.

;D Hey friendo!

The rest of that ice fishing season I left the names of where I was fishing out of the 8 additional videos I made?  A year later and here you are still sore about that video?

On a related note check out my new video! Just went Ice Fishing in the mountains Saturday for some itsy bitsy teeny weeny trout

Nice to see us evolving and taking care of the resource, finally. Back in the day, all the cry babies would have been here whining that  H1D didn't post coordinates...

I'm all about protecting a resource and form of recreation.  If that means I have to hurt some feeling because someone doesnt want to put in the leg work to find new spots to fish then so be it.  I'll gladly take that heat
