With the busy holiday season and end of the year sales financials coming to a close, I am pumped to post this successful ice fishing article from our Montana celebrity, Bearman. Sorry for being quiet the last few weeks! Bearman has been experiencing some solid fishing action during the start of the 2015/2016 Winter. Temperatures have dropped significantly in the Bitterroot Mountain range and the local lakes have started to solidify.
Bearman and his local crew had success on one of these lakes in mid December. Law requires a five fish per person limit with two lines per person. Worms on tip ups , and teardrop jigs tips with worm or soft plastic on jig pole got it done. The trout were basically jumping out of the hole! Ice fishing can be a cold drubbing or a fun filled action day (pending conditions and ice). Be sure to dress for the weather and read the local regulations for every area you plan to fish. The Montana boys limited out and spent the day ice skating from hole to hole! I have personally spent many hours on the cold ice with little action to brag about, but if you prepare for a fun day outdoors with friends, you will enjoy yourself no matter the fishing outcome.
As the winter progresses, I will continue posting ice fishing, skiing, hiking and other short stories. Please feel free to share pictures or your stories on our Facebook or Instagram pages! Thanks for reading.
