Sorry, don't mean to sound like I dislike Strawberry or that I was desperate for just ice.
Not only do I want to take him out on the ice, but I'd like to catch fish and have a memorable trip with the boy as well......not sit for hours for a few fish.
I've fished Strawberry a few times earlier in the year and visited the lodge several times over the past few weeks and listened to the fishing reports and anglers.
I would rather drive several hours for the chance at an ice trip plus a very good chance at a great day fishing than go to Strawberry and catch 3 fish all day long...which is about the average of the reports and anglers I've been talking to up there.
Rereading my post does make it sound as if I am just desperate for ice.....I didn't mean for it to sound that way. If that were the case I would just go to Strawberry.
I'm looking for a memory my son will have with his dad for a long time. We ice fish whenever we can, he just hasn't been able to go out this year. Not only do I want to get him out on the ice.....the memory of a fun trip is just as important.
Someone suggested Hebgen Lake in MT.
I checked into it. They have ice, they have pretty good fishing right now, and a cabin on the lake. Sounds good to me. Should be a fun few days.
