I was out hunting last evening and the snow from the weekend was 70% gone but the small ponds had a bit of ice one them. I then had to cross the Belle Fouche River (all 5', and 5" deep) and it was frozen but slushy. At this rate we will be on hard stuff by November.

Thanks, I have a buddy in Cheyenne and we keep talking about a wiper trip for a change of pace.

Highly recommend it, good times even from shore bait bombing if your using the right bait in the spring during their fake spawn



Hope that pic works, it's an old photobucket one. I had to refresh the page on mff to get it to show

It's doable already, but won't last long if the temps don't cooperate more   :-\




Nice fish slayer as I would expect, enjoy what's left of the soft water. Good ice is coming to the high country early this year

Years ago during the fall and winter in a power plant lake, wipers used to school up and feed heavily on the shad that came up the mouth of a water cooling inlet channel. Plant would release warm water into the lake and a shad colored rattle trap would become wore out in an afternoon! When they were busting the top a white Zara Spook was a blast too. Great fish, hard fighters.  :tipup:

Highly recommend it, good times even from shore bait bombing if your using the right bait in the spring during their fake spawn.
