Fillet O' Fung Loc: Berthoud CO

It's coming soon, the hard water calls, and the older I get (67) the harder it is to respond, but still want to do some ice fishing this winter, and feel more safe (and fun) finding an ice fishing partner.
I live on the Front Range of Colorado about 30 miles South of Ft. Collins, and willing to meet up where we decide to fish, or travel together and split expenses. Have fished Lake John, Delaney Buttes, Wolford, Eleven Mile, etc.

Ya know, when it's even in the teens, if there's no wind, at 8400 feet, with the sun shining, you'd be surprised how comfortable that can be. There's times I've taken off my thermal Bibs and do well with jeans, long johns and a heavy sweater. Of course guys fish in huts, but if I need that, I just don't go. That means winds over 20 MPH. I once fished at Eleven Mile Res in South Park, when it was 24 below zero, with 35 mile per hour winds. I have no idea what the wind chill factor was, by my gear broke down about the same time I did. I did catch a 24 inch bow on a long, dangly nightcrawler, which is rarely used for ice fishing. Point being, light or no wind, high altitude, full sun, and it can be fun, particularly if you enjoy finess sp? fishing, using such light line (4 or 6 lb. and small reels, lures, bait, and working decent size fish on up through a hole. Some guys bring hibachi grills out on the ice and cook steaks for lunch, and of course friendly frosties are popping, or my poison, thermos of strong tea, with honey and a drop of Jamesons.

Maybe you could try a snow machine and a chain saw. Do a little trolling.

I loved ice fishing in Utah for 40 winters. Had it all. Gas auger,hut heaters,sleds. Couple ice fishing rods.At times I had to thaw out my fingers to bait hook. Those were the days. Lost one rod thru ice. My mistake of not anchored down. Few feet away drilling second holes a fish pulled it in. Actually hooked my rod holder back but no rod. Good luck and enjoy.
