Laramie plains lakes

Wish I had some info other than a guess.

With the wind and high temps all week I would GUESS it has ate some of
The ice away ( few open spots, thin ice, white ice, Ect)
But, there will probably be good ice near wind/sun sheltered spots.
I'm sorry I just have a bunch of guesses for ya!

If you do go, have fun and use a spud! If the wind isn't to bad I bet there

will be others on the ice!

thanks culinarypunk, I appreciate the incite, even if they are only guesses. I normally try to be on the ice at 5, but Ill probably wait until the sun is up just to be safe.

earlier this winter i was on a front range lake way before sunlight, spudding along. After it got light i saw that i had walked less than 20 feet from open water! (no issue thankfully). Cant be too safe in my book, from now on when ice is possibly suspect, i can wait until it is light.

Sorry I am a day late, but if you drove up you saw it. It's getting pretty sketchy. The wind has been brutal and way to warm. Hope you caught some anyway.

no worries! a day late is better than nothing at all. we headed up and checked it out anyway. ice at twin buttes was pretty good in the morning, but we stopped by meeboar to find some sketchy conditions. all in all a good day. even with the wind, pleasantly warm, with the bank showing a 50 degree temp when we drove back home through Laramie. unless we get anther cold snap, i could imagine some fish-able open water up there in the a week or two....

Also i am stoked on Wyoming fish and game. I have been fishing at least 50 days in Colorado over the past season, I have only have my licence checked once. where i have fished twice in Wyoming over the past month and i got my licence checked yesterday. 1/50 compared to 1/2 pretty good ratio for Wyoming in my book. Always good to see a wildlife officer on the patrol!

Glad it wasn't a bust!

In 3.5 years fishing in CO, I was checked once and that was at john martin.

Last month at keyhole I got checked by a state parks guy and a g&f ranger.

some open water / meboer & gelatt

gelatt boat ramp

Steelhead, how'd you fare at Gelatt?

Indie, Gellatt survived the winter which is awesome, the fish aren't real big yet 15-16" average and a few bigger, but atleast it made it through winter.

Yes! Thanks, showcase.

Got to fish Gellatt twice last year. One day was great. The other was stellar. Nothing wrong with catching 27 and 45 trout up to 16 inches. Perfect for a 9' 4 or 5 weight outfit.

still no fish landed at gelatt

Steelhead, maybe we should be offering them a piping hot cup o' joe or some hot chocolate. That might make 'me go!

water temps get to 42 / 45 degrees it will be game on!
