Your Most Extreme Ice Fishing

[Kennyshmoo]

Looking back we took a trip to grassy lake in Wy, it 40 miles east of ashton or so on the reclamation road. That morning it was 14 below at my house, I got to the parking lot and it read 24 below. Man what was i thinking, it was so cold. I finally got the sled started and the trailer hooked on off i went,I got to the dam and it was a blizzard. I had to set up a old canvass tent with the bottom cut out.Hour later i had set up.It blew a way once about twenty feet, I was so cold I didn't care. I had sled running to keep my hands warm putting gloves on the block. Make a long story short we all got skunked not even one bite.I even lost a cylinder on my sled, on the way out...Other extreme ice fishing adventures i have had fishing hebgen,wade and cliff lake in blizzards.One time on the way out of wade and cliff it was white out i could not see where i was going. Came over a snow drift and no joke elk 10 feet away running it scared the %$$$$## out of me. I guess if i had to do it all over again i would not change a thing. I remember my dad paying me ten bucks to drill ice holes at hebgen. It was so cold we fished with snowmachine helmets on.Now that i have ice shanties and good heaters i feel like were cheating mother nature and her elements she throws at us. Looking back I would not change a thing, it was blast can't wait for the next extreme ice fishing trip.
