Chatfield Ice

[EricCO]

Anyone know how the ice is at Chatfield? Last time I was there you had to wade a bit to get to the ice. Just wondering if I should take my waders? LOL

Went to Chatfield yesterday. The ice is fine. The fishing was really slow. A guy next to me had something big on in about 30' of water. Walleye maybe. It broke his line. We never saw it. I didn't get a hit all day.

Looking to maybe drown some minnows Saturday night/Sunday morning, any word from chatfield?? Haven't heard much of anything being caught this season, but maybe I'm talking to the wrong people.Soooooooooo, anyone hit Chatfield lately?

I think that I will try some night fishing at Chatfield this weekend. Just got to get there early enough to drill a bunch of holes to hop before it gets dark and you spook all the Eyes with your drilling. Spoons and a minnow head on the jigging stick and a red hook w/ live minnow and split shot for a dead stick. Maybe I'll see you there. I'll probably just be bucket fishing if its nice enough and if I shake this darn cold.

Dan Dan-
I was out there yesterday from 4-8 pm and not a bite. I was down off catfish flats and drilled 20 or so holes ranging from 7' to 30' and vexilar picked up nothing but dead sea. I talked to two other guys that fished all day and they also had nothing to show for their efforts - although one guy caught a carp - which must have been fun bringing in. The other guy had talked to a group that spent 24 hours out there with only a rainbow to show for their efforts. maybe the park service pulls out all the walleyes in the winter and moves them to a top secret location....
