Fishing Warm water Forum

Everyone is talking about or is actually out ice fishing and here I am stuck in Oklahoma with 70 degree air temps with 3 farm ponds on our property, an open trout fishery 20 miles away, and a warmwater river 5 miles away. I WANNA ICE FISH! Oh well I think the smallmouth are biting right now…

sorry for the rant

SC with the temps approaching 70 degrees

tea glass.G Warm regards, Jim

Yeah, lee. Mike and Jim’s just waiting for the bite .

Speaking of trolling fly anglers, sometimes you got to do what you got to do to catch fish if and when the fish won’t bite any flies that day . I’ll use any means at my disposal to catch fish along with the fly rod.

One of the most effective ways I’ve found to catch big river swift current sandies is by using my 8wt with a sinking leader and a metal spoon “fly” and trolling it behind the jon boat.

Hey I actually went bait fishing the other day, I even used powerbait and a plastic rod but I am working on a split cane spinning rod just for those occasions. I’m not really a FFing snob but I do try to be a bamboo snob.

idabel-

   I have never ice fished I my life I have never even seen a guy on the Ice, fishing. I have always wanted to try but no where around where I live the ponds never freeze. So I guess I will have to wait and just dream.

                              thanks,

Hey Mike, I know how you feel. I don’t think that we’ve had hard water since '66. I would like to try my hand at ice fishing, but I doubt that it will happen down here. Crud, Monday hit 75. At least we’ve got some hatches going, but they’re mostly midges. We’re still a month or more away from anything bigger than a 16. Good luck in the future.
