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. Reports came in from across the state on open-water trout fishing, early ice that didn’t quite hold, and how weather swings are making conditions unpredictable.

We also covered safety reminders for early winter fishing, shared a few New Year’s outdoor stories, and laughed about how January is usually prime ice season — just not this year.

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.
