Fishing Forum

I took my scout troop down to Chesterfield res. for a campout last night. We arrived about 8:30 last night and got set up. We ended up having 9 boys come and 4 leaders. Three boys and myself set up tents on the ice and slept and the rest of the land lovers stayed on dry ground. Found out my quick fish three fits my cot perfectly and works great for a one man tent.
The boys wet a line last night and ended up icing one around 10:30 p.m. We got up around 6:00 this morning and fished until 12:00. We iced 7 fish with alot of missed bites and fish coming off at the hole. Most of the boys had alot of fun and some of them it was there first time ice fishing and they caught a fish.
Most important we made it home with no casualties! Always a relief as a scout leader! All in all it was a fun day and I'm glad I could share with them one of my favorite ice fishing spots.

glad to hear it!!! good thing you did it now i was talking to the water guy that runs the ditch up there and the head gates on the chessterfield dam they are talking about opening the dam up here soon to let water out for the hydro plants down stream!!! now if they do this it will drop the water lvl on the reservoir around 4 to 5 feet or more... so if any one is going out please keep this in mind it is just a talk righr now but they may do it....

That could make for some dangerous ice. Hope they don't do it.

Sounds like fun always good to get the scouts home in one piece.
