Finding a Frozen Window and a Solid Fish

Remember back when we had ice? Here’s what one angler was doing back then…

If you were one of the anglers who took advantage of the ice before these warmer temps set in and turned it to liquid, then we hope you found success. Here’s a video posted by @ReelMontana that shows their success with a nice cutthroat from northwest Montana about a week ago before it warmed up.

Nice work, and don’t forget to do your ice dance! Be careful out there.
