only if it wasn't so far away. It's gotta be getting closer to here.

I was out around Boysen today. I saw the guys fishing, then were about 20 feet from the shore at the causeway, and about that far from open water too. I'd call myself a fool if I was out on it. The ice overall went to about halfway to fivemile from the causeway, with some open water holes in it here and there. The south side of the causeway was more solid though.

I really need to scroll down before I reply to another topic.

Well if there is ice around the bridge I'm hoping that poison creek is capped up. With the cold weather in the forecast for the next week I'm keeping my hopes up. Has anyone out there heard anything about poison creek?

i went back again today after birds. There is less ice than yesterday. There was some wind that was ripping it up. it was also in the high 30's at 7:30am, so I wouldn't expect much ice accumulation.

how is route 20/26 between boysen and casper in the winter months?

It's usually pretty good jopes, I used to live in Casper and me and a couple buddies would make many day trips from Casper to Boysen....I can't remember a time that we had to drive the speed limit

Me and a buddy got out there yesterday, 3-4 inches. Just wanted to get out and make sure everything was operating smoothly and ready to go for the season.

Hey rbmchief so was that 3 or 4 inch's at poison creek or another spot on the lake?

rbmchief · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 30, 2009, 05:44 PM »

Me and the wife will be up there for three or four days 12-31 to 1-3. Any advise on places to catch perch? I am only familiar with the tough creek area as I have camped and fished there in the summer. I have a good map of the lake. We will probably not have the fourwheeler on this trip unless I can afford some repairs, but we are used to walking a good distance pulling the sled.

Hey hump I have always done well on the perch near the sister islands and north and south muddy bays. They are located on the other side of the lake, my best advice would be to fish in about 40 t0 50 fow. You might have to punch several holes to find them, if you have a vexilar it helps to find them schooled up.Fish any where from a couple feet off the bottom all the way to 15 feet from bottom, I like to use small buckshot jigs with a minnow head! Be safe and good luck 8)

I have heard that there are hot springs near the islands. hopefully there is snow so there are tracks. It is snowing in cheyenne right now.

There will be lots of pressure ridges also, just use some common sense and ya should be ok. Dont be afraid to go to 70 ft of water also. Gotta go where the fish are.

Anyone know how the ice is doing on Ocean?

minnowguy · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 03, 2009, 05:54 PM »

The weather forecast is for subzero temps for about a week or more so everything should freeze real good really soon. -10 for worland and -14 for riverton tonight. That'll make some hard water.

Ice just went on, but don't know if it's fishable or got blown off by wind
