Re: Ice Fishing

I would be interested in doing some ice fishing.
Where are you looking to go? Days are a little short to fly out.
Give me a call if you still have the number.

Re: Ice Fishing

Ken, I think I lost your number - I'll go through my private messages and see if its in there.

I was thinking about just driving down to Birch Lake or something. I don't know any places to fly in to and who knows what the temps will be like!

Re: Ice Fishing

An ice-fishing fly in? This is so cool. I can't wait to get to Alaska but my plane hitchhiking project is taking me to Colorado and Texas next. Have fun!

Re: Ice Fishing

Hi Amber,
Let me know when you make it to Alaska.
Ski flying and ice fishing sounds good.

Re: Ice Fishing

When I was in school, used to land on Lake Hattie, west of Laramie, on wheels. Catch a bunch of perch, sometimes had to taxi around in old tracks if much snow to get up enough airspeed to TO. Stock PA-12

Re: Ice Fishing

Cameron,
Your probably working on that tan in Hawaii now.
Will be taking a snowmachine ride to a friends cabin on Friday
will be back Sunday. Days are getting longer with 4 minutes each day.
Let me know when you get back in town. We will do some more fishing.

Fly safe.

Re: Ice Fishing

Ken,

I got back in the beginning of Feb but ended up being crazy tied up with work for all of Feb. Ridiculous.

It'll slow down one of these days. I'm just happy I've got enough free time this weekend to try and catch up on the forum!

Re: Ice Fishing

Cameron ,
Good to see your back. I have been ice fishing a few times . Took the snowmachine out and
put a 100 miles on it the other weekend. Let me know when you would like to go.
The temp is getting better and over 10 and a half hours of daylight.
