Has anyone been there in the last few days? Can you still bank fish or is there ice starting?

Good morning.
I was there Friday and there was bank fishing down as far as Norton Bay. That was all the farther we could get in the boat. Saw 2 groups doing very well.

It was the ice that stoped us.

Was out on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (before the wind blew me off). Fishing was great from shore. No ice. I'm kinda new here.. when does it typically ice up? I'm looking forward to ice fishing. Day dreaming of eyes, frostbite, and slips.

Trout bite is decent.

Home town Great Falls? You live here now or working here? Salmon Dam is kind of strange and different every year. Been years when it doesn't freeze. Been years when there were people ice fishing the south end, boats on the north end and people fishing from the bank, on the same day!

Really hate those questions of "Hometown". I'm a military brat and I've lived everywhere.. sorry that song comes to mind. I moved here and just getting to know the area. The guy at Sportsman suggested it. Wasn't bad. been doing pretty good but I noticed not very many doing well unless they are on a boat. Guess I'm just lucky

Lived in Montana the Longest out of everywhere so far. figured it was a good place to "start"

Always this windy around here?
Checking the weather.. looks cold but 5 - 10 mph winds.. this week? I hope they are right. Anyone going out fishing this week?

It has been unusually calm really. Our trees and old men lean to the east because the wind. I always say the wind doesn't blow here. It blows in Oregon and it sucks in Utah. [laugh] Ron

I was always taught that a stiff enough wind could.... Wait a sec... Anyways, if we don't get ice on a local lake, how will I join the derby? No fair...

No problem. I usually go fishing at least once a week. Looking forward to this weekend for sure.
