The ice is forming quickly at Strawberry and I hoped the ladders would have some open water. This is what it looked like when I arrived:

It made for slow fishing, but I ended up happy anyhow.

That is truly a great fish. You must be hardcore to be fishing under those conditions. :hail2thechief:

Thanks.

It was pretty cold all day. I was bundled up really well, too. I knew it would be wet, so I wore my waders over 3 layers over my legs. In each of the front pockets of my pants (layer 3) I had a hand warmer and in the chest pocket of the waders I had one too. All that wrapped in 2 fleece jackets and a good weather shell on the outside. Insulated leather gloves really helped, too. The leather helped keep out the steady wind.

I'm going to really miss open water. :sad:

'Guess I'll just have to try out this ice fishing thing.
