You just never know what you will see at Canyon Ferry during ice fishing season….lol
On a safety note for newbies, before you hit the ice for a day of fishing fun, remember to prioritize safety. Ice fishing in Montana can be an exhilarating experience, but it’s crucial to take precautions. Always check the thickness of the ice before venturing out, ensuring it’s at least 4 inches thick for walking and 5-7 inches for small vehicles. Wear appropriate clothing to stay warm and dry, including layers, waterproof boots, and insulated gloves. Bring essential safety gear like ice picks, a throw rope, and a flotation device in case of emergencies. And never fish alone; bring a buddy to watch each other’s backs and provide assistance if needed.
Have fun and be safe!
