On last week’s Montana Outdoor Radio Show, we talked about the strange start to winter, with limited ice fishing opportunities and anglers still walking riverbanks instead of drilling holes.

If you missed it, you can catch the full episode now and get caught up on statewide fishing reports, winter conditions, and what to watch for as ice season tries to catch up.
