Thanks for stirring the ol’ memory pot Cal. When I live in NE SD, I didn’t have a clue how to ice fish. Heck, we were just happy to have a power auger, let alone a fancy dancy flasher. Somehow we managed fish at times though.
Anyway, I’m headed out there next week for work. I’m gonna hit an old slew/pond that I duck hunted a lot. It was always chock full of fresh water shrimp. There may not be a fish in there, but I’m gonna find out. If not, I’m headed to Waubay for the bite there. Can’t wait!!
Great job on your first of many “On Ice” reports!
