Default Grist lake ice fishing

Anyone been out this year? Can't find any info on ice or any success from folks yet... Looking to get out just want to see how people are doing.

Was there two weeks ago ice was 14-18” fishing was slow caught one all day. New to fishing this lake though so we were prospecting around. Sometimes it’s all about the adventure

Lol that’s a great picture you posted....
The picture of a arrogant teenager bagging for attention!!!

I will be having a tournament their as we do every year but we refrain from allowing douchebags to enter so forgive me but you won’t receive the invitation. Besides you need to take pictures with the measured fish on a bump board and pictures holding the fish to enter so I guess your out since you don’t have a phone. Maybe ask your parents for one next year for Christmas.

I havent been, but I was debating heading up tomorrow as well. Still undecided on where to go...

If I head that way I'll let you know. If not, it would be awesome to hear back how things are going up that way, might be able to salvage a trip by the end of the year.

There’s always overflow by the lodge
It’s always an eerie feeling driving through it

I ended up going south, sounds like fishing was about as productive as you had though...
