Any bets on where the first lake will freeze enough to fish this winter?

I don't know but **** better start freezing over pretty fast! I'm like a drug addict I NEED MY ICE

I knew you'd be the first to post but didn't know how fast it would be! You are a junkie!

Come on ice.

Can't get on the ice fast enough.

Almost certainly a shallow lake in the Flattops will be frozen in 2 weeks.

St. Marys lake is always a good bet for first ice. Right at end of Oct.

I think we're gonna hit a high lake behind Leadville saturday. Hopefully it's not frozen yet-

St. Mary's!

Yep!! Also found a couple lakes a little bit lower with 2" of ice, fished 1 of them caught 1 but ice was popping and cracking to much, but I think they will be good by next weekend.

ShuMugen · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 07, 2011, 02:41 PM »

SLAYERFISH · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 09, 2011, 08:26 AM »

Good job, Bro!

hvacpro · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 10, 2011, 02:20 PM »

Just returned from Antero. I was at the south shore and the lake is pretty frozen, didn't see any water but i didn't attempt to walk on it yet. I would say if the temps stay the way they have been it should only be a couple of more weeks before we can drag our gear out and fish.. Hooray!!!!!!

elkdeerbear · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 16, 2011, 08:36 PM »

My Dad went out to Tarryall today. Said it was froze with 2-4 inches of ice, but he didn't see any auger holes. He didn't fish, was just looking.

Husker95 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 16, 2011, 09:48 PM »

Awesome news about Tarryall and Antero. If i read the report right for Fairplay, next week is supposed to be highs in the 30s and lows in the teens all week. I would think that should make it 'safe to surf' ( or as safe as ice fishing can get).

I saw on another site that Tarryall has 4" of ice and the guy said he fished it and got 12 bows in 2 hours. Am heading up there Sunday, will let you all know how it is.

Good Sam · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 12:37 AM »

The wife & I went out to find ice this afternoon. Our first choice still had open water, but our second choice had 6-7". We each caught a couple before we had to leave.

Hey Steve.
Did you guys get any laker bait?
I read that you were selling your gas auger?
I hope you still have the Kawasaki.
