[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 481068, member: 367"] Bring it all the way north. I just got back from a two day fishing trip on the Cheyenne with my Grandsons and we talked Long and hard about building a light raft for river travel but after reading this I'm thinking a flat bottom jon boat might be better. The fishing was a lot of fun , It was our first ice fishing there, the bite was so light that it took us a while to catch the first one on but once we figured them out ,we caught and released a bunch of goldeyes. I'd compare it to a finicky perch bite so it was good expierence and they are quite a ways down the learning curve if we ever get on top DL perch, The ice was constantly around 36'' where we drilled a bunch of holes . The only bad part was water came up the holes so we were wallowing around in 10 inches of slush the first day but drilled next to a snowmobile trail on day two and that was a lot better. I'm guessing you could find non game fish almost anywhere along the river and It's a great resource for teaching kids how to fish. The summer bite was a lot more aggressive, we only catch suckers , catfish and carp but the river runs along thier small farm so it's handy to walk 100 yards and go fishing.. Edit : we catch catfish , goldeyes and suckers, not carp. [/QUOTE]
