i only have one question where to start fishing on the lake i would love to go up there for a weekend but have no idea where to start. i was guessing around the channel would be a good start but i dont know and i dont wanna just start punching holes all over the lake because i would run out of gas before i got around too far. any info would be much appreciated
#1 Add your location to your profile.#2 Understand that it isn't a very forgiving place. An error could be costly. #3 Having the right gear is important. If all you have is a short track snowmachine..... stay on the trail...... usually. #4 Why anyone camps out at the channel amazes me. 5 years ago maybe. #5 No more off sale at the lake. Nearest beer run is Glennallen area. Have what you need or do without.#6 Unless you know people out there, you have no margin for safety. Be prepared. I did 3 days at -48 and will leave after the first 5 minutes in the future. I broke helmet plastic, snowmachine windshield etc, froze track up and had to weed burner it and then after being plugged in for 3 hours my (and everyone elses) truck took 5-7 hours to get started. #7 Carry red and yellow Heet. Always run red..... when you are in trouble use a little yellow to clear ice out. I said a little. #8 Know your way around. I know the lake and still bought a Garmin Montana. Visibility was 200 yards or less when I came out last Sunday. Add darkness, no moon and no direct knowlege of the lake and you could be in trouble. #9 Load the lodge phone numbers in your phone. Troopers too.#10 Take notes. Baro pressure, temps, moon, etc.....
You forgot:#11 Take spare augur blades, you can find bottom anywhere on that lake.#12 Depth map would help avoid striking bottom and having to use #11
aahhh, you guys are making it sound like no fun, but the moose spotting scope thing sounds good.
Headed up thirsty thursday for five glorious days. Oh wait a minute is dirt gonna be there? Shat!!!
Wont she go and cant i drive her!!!
We all know he didn't actually fish. Its real hard to hold an auger and a cocktail at the same time.
