Consensus seems to be ...Slow fish'n this year...

[rodrunner]

Well seems everyone I talk too has the same thing to say. "The fish'n has sure been slow this year" "See lots of fish, but their sure not bit'n very well" I would have to agree for the most part. I've had a couple good days on the ice. I mean, who can complain with a 7# largemouth, 8# northerns, and a 15.4# cat. But for all the hours ive been on the ice it sure has been slow this year. Finially got a little wally the other day. So what is your expierence this year?

with the exception of a few days on Ocean Lake, its been pretty boring. not many fish but what I have caught has been pretty nice.

Buffalo Bill was smokin hot the first two weeks the ice was good  20-30 fish mornings with most of them in the twenty inch range  Cutts Bows and Lakers. One laker 25"  I iced over a hundred in six outings!
 Now the ice is GONE
Warm wind + more warm wind =

That sucks wyohikit, about the ice. Still gonna be a while before bone starts dropping too.

I'm a rare dude that likes the trout, but slow fishing at Boysen started last summer for me. I blame it on the new high water after several years of drought. Lots and lots of new food down there. Now the results are starting to show in the fish. It is rare to catch a trout less than 20" this year so in effect the limit is one.

the economy is even hitting the fishes...

I have no confidence in the ice with all this warm wind. I am going to Yellowstone to play in the snow with the elk all weekend.
