Standing Bear

[waterloofisher]

Anyone had any luck with the Standing Bear trout?  Caught quite a few last year east of boat ramp but haven't been back this year.  Thinking tomorrow morning if i can shake the hang-over off     Also anyone know any where to get wax worms around there?  Bait shop in Blair (Steinbaugh's?) has good selection of jigs again plus bait, but unfortunately all my bait has frozen!  Braved a farm pond in -5 degrees right before Christmas, shack heater couldn't even keep up, fished for four hours and skunked!  Fished Holmes lake in Lincoln on Saturday, just a few bluegill.  Any Standing Bear info would be appreciated...  Good luck everyone and Happy New Year!

Steinbaugh's was out of waxies when I was in there last week but said he was getting more in this week. He said he sold more waxies to date this season than he did all of last year. Also you may want to call ahead to see if he got some in, he's also kind of hit and miss sometimes as far as being open for buisness.

I know it's a drive, but CAbelas had plenty of waxies, I hit them today and they still had ten or twelve packages left.  I hit standing bear from about one o'clock to three today and caught three nice bows and a brownie!!!  I was just north and east of the ramps in about fifteen feet, anywhere from on the bottom to as high as seven feet up.  I will be out thursday afternoon in a green shack if your out there.

HP,

I can meet you after work today for a couple hours if you want to go to Walnut or Wehrspann.  SB is just to far to go to after work.  Can't wait to see your new toy.  Call me before you leave.  I'd like to try the Z again sometime.

Much nicer day for you... wehrspann was less than desireable.  We finally got onto crappies late, no keepers, and many, many, holes later!!!!  I'm hittin Standing Bear Sunday!!!  Those trout were delicious on the grill!!! JB WERE FISHIN FOR PELLET POPPERS!!!

HP,

So round two will happen tomorrow......(Vex verses Marcum).............

After we catch our 4 trout each, can we pack-up and head to the Z?  The limit is four, right?  I just want a chance at something more than a pellet eater.  I'm thinking we won't need the shack, as its going to get in the 30's.

I'll bring some of Rufus's food too, as thats sure to work for those trouts.

So SB, then the Z tommorrow, meet at what time?  Your place or mine?  I'm free all day.
