We are going to Glendo this weekend. We have never been there but they say they have safe ice now. Never fished for Walleyes through ice. I would like any thoughts or tips you may have. I understand that most eyes are caaught by the dam.

Thanks

Dave

Ya, its 103 mi north of Cheyene. Sometimes around the dam can be hot, some times not. I have points marked all over Glendo on my GPS. Remember that the water level is continually rising all winter long at Glendo. So on warm days make sure you have a plank to get out on the ice with. I"ve had good luck across from Reno and just south of Reno. Spoons are hot. Tip them with a minnow head. Down size if the bite is slow. Small jigs or spoons tipped with multiple waxes can be hot. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Another reminder, you must perchase any live minnows you are going to use, in Wyoming.Curly's bait in Douglas

Went to Glendo last Sat. We stayed at the H&M Trading Post Bed and Breakfast. (A nice place) Fished up by the dam most of the day and caught 1 eye. The ice was about 6" thick. We got some minnows Sunday and tried Reno. The ice was too thin to the left of the boat ramp so we went to the right about 400 yards. The ice was about 4 to 5" with very soft edges. Caught a couple eyes. Marked fish both days. We tried every thing in the tackle box from angel eyes to TK spoons. The edges were too soft for us the next day so we went to Grayrock. Caught a few channel cats but no walleye. I plan on hitting Grayrock again when there is safer ice and I can fish the river channel. In all we had a lot of fun on very slow fishing days.

The ice fishing in Wyo has been tough recently. Last Friday went to Hawk Springs and fished for about six hours with no takers, only marked a few fish. Fished Sloans in CHeyenne Sunday after the Vikes loss (it was expected) and caught some nice little perch for dinner Sunday night. Went to Glendo Monday and fished to the east of the marina, marked fish in 18-36 feet, but only get several bites (usually when daydreaming) but could not get any to the ice. My son and I had 4 tip-ups each and were jigging 2 lines. Tipups had live minnnows and jigging pimples and angeleyes tipped with minnow heads. It was a beautiful day, not much wind and about 40 degrees. Ice was 4-6 inches thick and for the most part clear. Hope others have had better luck.

These days it's not great for me to admit I'm a Bronco fan either...I guess mediocre wildcard finishes are acceptable...Oh listen to me thats why I love to fish...Fishing is always good even when the catching is not!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
