A Friend and His Boys Visit on the Coldest Weekend of the Season
Scott Olson

After spending many winters bragging up how great ice fishing is and having him bring my wife and daughter to the Dakota Angler Ice Institute and walking around chatting with the different vendors, my friend Jared decided to bring himself and his three boys to the Black Hills to try out ice fishing. Planned over a month in advance, we had no way of knowing that the polar vortex that we all felt recently was on its way. Once we knew the forecast for the weekend, he said only snowy weather would keep them away. With no snow in the forecast and below zero temps all the days they were in Rapid City, I knew it was going to be a hub-necessary ice trip!

I decided to first try out a pond that was not very heavily fished and had resulted in some nice trout during a scouting trip the weekend before. I brought out both of my hubs, a Clam Outdoors Bigfoot XL2000 and a newer insulated C-560. Heaters were necessary as well so both Buddy Heaters, including the new Buddy Flex, came out with us. We would be cooking our lunch as well, so I also got to bring out the portable grill attachment for the Buddy Flex. Since it was -15 outside, we got things ready before getting the boys out of the vehicle. After set-up, popping a few holes in each hub (one too many in one of them), and getting the heaters going, we had the boys, Will, Lucas, and Mitchell, come to the hubs. I gave them lessons on using the Vexilars as well as ways to jig their lures and let them try it out. They saw many fish come in and out of their screens, but nothing would bite. As there were suckers in the pond as well as trout, I suspected most of the marks were probably them based off my scouting trip. It was a struggle for sure for the boys with nothing taking the baits, even after several lure changes. Boredom was tough to avoid for them, so Jared brought up different video games to keep the boys fishing.

After a grilled hot dog lunch courtesy of the Buddy Flex cooker, we unfortunately had a slight accident as little Mitchell's foot accidentally found one of the holes no one was fishing at (the "one too many" hole) and he fell to his knee. While we were getting his boots and socks changed, Jared noticed his rod tip was jerking up and down. So, I quickly grabbed the rod and set the hook! After making sure the fish was hooked enough, I handed the rod off to Will who was nearest to me. The drag peeled from the reel as he kept trying to reel the fish up. I was able to get the trout scooped up the hole and listen to the excitement in the boys' voices at their first landed fish! Will did not want to hold the trout for the picture, so I did it for him, but he was sure excited to have his first iced fish!

We packed up and left after that to go to Pactola and try for some bluegill action. We only brought one hub out this time since we were only going to be there a short time, but the C-560 was roomy enough for all five of us for the most part. Jared took over for Mitchell and within 5 minutes caught another nice trout, his first iced fish as well! Mitchell got to pose with the fish since it was his rod and hole it came out of. But that was all the action we had there unfortunately, so we packed up to head to back to town shortly after that. It was a tough day for sure for the boys and while I felt bad that I could not get them on a good bite, I was happy that they had decided to come and try ice fishing out despite the frigid weather. My hope is that they will be interested enough to maybe try it again next season and I can hopefully get them on a better bite. It can be tough to get both kids and adults into wanting to keep trying to fish out when the bite was so tough, but persistence can pay off in the end. Let us just see what I can get them on next year!

The Ladies' Turn
Scott Olson

This hardwater season, I've volunteered with an outdoor organization from our local air base here in Rapid City to take different groups out onto the ice. So far, we've done a singles trip and a ladies only trip. The frigid weather has caused a postponement of the last two due to obvious safety concerns, but they will be rescheduled. The ladies trip was a particularly fun one even though it was a small group. But this allowed them to get a lot of one-on-one attention from myself and Tyler, the group leader. Two of them had never been on the ice before so I was happy that they were willing to give it a try. Tyler and I agreed that we'd give Lakota Lake a chance since some other places I checked on didn't have much of a bite going on. Neither of us had been to Lakota yet this season, but we decided to give it a shot.

The ladies were ready and eager to learn. Hopes for a good bite were encouraging as I was showing the ladies how to use a Vexilar and a trout showed up as I was demonstrating jigging technique and gave us a good fight. They were eager to get going after that! One of them, a first-timer, caught her first iced fish about 10 minutes later and she was ecstatic! Things slowed down a bit after the initial hits, but the ladies were patient and followed my advice about moving around to different holes. I even had some drill their own holes with my K-drill setup, showing once again that anyone can pick up a K-drill auger and use it with no worries or training! My Arctic Warrior setups saw a majority of the action for the rest of the day, as they would race to where I would point and yell "flag". This helped a couple of the ladies reel in their first fish of the day as well. A couple of moves later, one of them found a hot hole and caught a few fish out of it before things quieted down again, but she was pretty happy with her haul!

Getting to take these groups from the air base out this season has been a lot of fun, but it's also been great to get many first-timers out with them as well! With Covid restrictions in place, especially for base personnel, it's been a great way to get them off base and outside to enjoy something new. There's still a trip or two left in our planned season (once the frigid cold passes) and I'm looking forward to seeing the smiling faces of those who catch some fish and the lessons they learn while on the ice. Hopefully some of them will want to try it again or even consider getting into it themselves with their families. It really has been a worth while experience this season!

West River Ice Expo
Scott Olson

Thanks in part to more and more people looking to try out or get back into ice fishing this season, I was approached by a Vexilar Pro staff member about participating in an on-ice event designed to help teach anglers how to correctly use their gear and how to become more efficient about their time on the ice.

Always one to want to teach others how to find and catch fish, I said yes to this opportunity! I along with several other staffers in the area would help with using Vexilars, placement of Arctic Warrior and tip up systems, ice safety, and proper rod selection for different species. Word of mouth online was good, and we all anticipated good attendance.

After some morning scouting in the area of Sheridan Lake that was chosen to host the group, we knew it was going to be a tough bite day. High pressure systems and high winds in the area the day before and day of had killed off any chance of a good bite. Fish were around here and there, but they were not interested in much.

We did get a good-sized crowd to come and join us for the Expo, but it was a day where patience was taught as well as the tough lesson of not every trip will be successful catch-wise. A few fish were caught here and there, but the lessons that were taught will most certainly help those who came. For some, it was their first trip, like with a friend of mine and his two boys who he brought with. For others, they were looking to improve their efficiency on the ice and gain an edge on using their Vex systems by learning from us.

While the conditions of the day did not give us a hand in improving the catch, those who attended and stayed for the duration learned some valuable knowledge from the experience, knowledge that they will be sure to remember and use for future ice trips. With any luck, this on-ice expo will become an annual event and help others in the future with getting to know their equipment better and being more proficient on the ice.

For those of us who live for the hardwater season, teaching others is what it is all about. We all love nothing more than to see others catching fish and taking the lessons learned with them on their future trips. Hopefully, those who attended the first annual West River Ice Expo will catch a lot of fish using what they learned at it. We look forward to seeing what happens in the future because of it!

Hardwater Birthday Bash!
Scott Olson

One trip I have looked forward to over the last few years is with two sons of a friend of mine and my wives from Spearfish. It seems that each winter for the few seasons, they ask about when am I going to take them ice fishing. As good as that feels to have these boys asking, the last couple of years, it has been hard to get them on fish on one of lakes nearby. It always seems to be good until about February, which is when I normally get up there. But this season, I took advantage of the long New Year’s weekend to get up there to get them on the ice earlier. And thankfully, another friend of mine in the area, has permission to fish on a private pond that has some good sized panfish and bass in it. Aaron secured us permission to fish with him and after dropping off my wife and daughter at their house, Ryan and his two of his boys, Skylar and Noah, along with Ryan's brother visiting from South Carolina and his son followed me to meet up with Aaron at the pond.

After drilling several holes, I got to explain to the group about how to use the Vexilars I brought with me and how to recognize fish when they were near the lures as well as some jigging techniques to use. The bite certainly was not on fire by any means, but they did start plucking some bluegills out of the water here and there, including some very nice sized ones! Ryan's nephew also succeeded in catching a few fish including a decent largemouth. Being from South Carolina, he had obviously never ice fished before, so I was very happy to see him get on a few. Little Noah, who was the youngest one there, was the most determined of the boys, staying at his holes while his brother and cousin played around here and there when the fish were not around. I was quite impressed with his determination. He ended up catching a few as well, including the biggest gill of the morning! Ryan even got in on the action, catching the best bass! But luck was on Skylar's side--it was his 7th birthday after all. He caught the most fish and was happy to brag about it with his cousin afterwards!

The boys had a good time on the ice, and I could not thank Aaron enough for getting us access to the place and helping get these boys on some fish. Since it was earlier than normal, I am hopeful to get another trip up there to take them out again. Skylar and Noah could become some future iceheads and I hope that Ryan and I can only continue to encourage them to try it out and gain more experience with ice fishing. It is just a wonderful experience to get to take them out and I only hope it will continue for years to come!

Christmas in the Field and on the Hardwater
Scott Olson

For Christmas this year, my wife, daughter, and I headed up to Lemmon to enjoy some time with family up there and for me to be able to get back out for some goose hunting as well as ice fish with my dad. Most trips up there during the winter, I only get on the ice with my dad, which is always good, but having a couple of extra days up gave me more time to head after some geese for the first time in a few years. Goose hunting has always been my favorite hunting season, even from when I started hunting at age 12.

So, I told my brother that I wanted to get out in the field at least once while I was in town and he did a little scouting ahead of time and ran into some friends of his who were doing the same thing. They decided we would team up and help lay out a large spread of decoys in a field where hundreds of geese were the day before our trip. And my bro's daughter, Payton, was coming with. She had turned 12 and was doing all kinds of hunting in her first year of it. Deer, coyote, pheasant, grouse.....you name it, she wants to go after it!

After setting up decoys and picking hail bails we would hide behind, we waited for the first flocks to start to arrive after sunrise. My brother's friends would do the calling so as the geese started flying, they did their best to bring them our way. A few smaller flocks came our way and, with six guns going, they did not last long. More flocks flew our way and a few more fell while other groups missed us or came in high since it was a nice day. I managed to down a couple. Towards the late morning, some smaller groups again came over us and my niece was able to get her first goose. Boy was she excited! She happily posed with her goose when we got back home.

After this, it was ice time with dad. Since Shadehill had only just locked up not too long before Christmas, he took me to his stock dam for walleyes. Well, over two trips, the fishing was slow. I managed one decent 'eye while he caught a couple of smaller ones. Otherwise, we had to contend with small perch and a few largemouth bass he put in there. While it was not an active bite, it was good to give some of my newer walleye lures some water time, such as Clam's Tikka Mino, Salmo's Rail Shad, and Northland's Fire-Belly spoon. Hopefully, our lake trout lake in the Hills will lock up soon so I can give these lures another test run or take them after walleyes in the area.

So, we enjoyed a good Christmas in Lemmon, celebrating with family and having my 2-year-old daughter get spoiled by her grandparents. And it was good to have some extra time to not only get on the ice with my dad, but also get some time in the field. With the busy part of my winter coming up now, hopefully we will have a chance to get back up there. But at least we enjoyed the time while we could! Tight lines to all in the new year!

Family Outing
Scott Olson

With the ice getting thicker on certain lakes, I decided it was time to start looking to get groups out again before my bigger group outings start happening next month. One of my friends at work and I are always trying to see when her and her family can get trips lined up, which does not happen much owing to our days off not matching up much. But such an opportunity was available on a recent weekend, so I arrange for her and her family to meet me up at Deerfield since the ice was thick enough where I felt it was safe to bring others on.

While my initial drops to check and see what was around did not yield the best results, I was still hoping they would be able to catch something. So, after setting up my Clam C-560 Thermal hub and getting my new Buddy Flex heater turned on, I drilled more holes and got other lines rigged up as they arrived.

Kim and James set out fishing initially, each armed with a Vexilar, while the two kids did their own thing. Kim caught her first (and only) fish within the first 10 minutes but enjoyed being outside and inside the hub when she got cold. Her daughter, Sienna, got to reel in a couple of fish on the Arctic Warriors while she was taking photographs for a class. And James caught the best fish of the morning right before I was starting to pack up. While I was disappointed that a normally reliable spot did not produce, the family had fun and they got some much-needed fresh air and relaxing in.

Sometimes that is more important than anything else, especially these days. With more and more people wanting to get out of their houses while adhering to CDC recommendations, the outdoors offers a retreat and seasoned anglers across the Midwest have noticed. More people are trying outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, and hiking. This boom in outdoor activity is a great opportunity for those of us who enjoy the outdoors to get more people involved. So, if you have a chance to take your family or a friend's family out, take advantage of that, especially if there's kids involved. You may inspire a new passion in someone for the outdoors.

Roubaix Rainbows
Scott Olson

With the return of colder weather and some safer ice, it was time to look past the smallest ponds in the area and to slightly larger ones over the last 10 days. Some larger bodies of water were starting to ice up, but they needed some more time. With that in mind, the next place I normally head to after hitting up the little guys to start the season is Roubaix Lake. It normally has some nice-sized rainbows in it when compared to the ponds, so it makes a good transition place to get some drag pulled from my Piscifun reels each season. And I arranged for some friends to come with as well since ice fishing is always more fun with some friends around. With my buddy Beau in tow, we met up with my friend Aaron and his daughter Chloe who drove down from Spearfish to give the lake a shot.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that in a week, the lake had put on over 2" more inches of ice since I had checked it out and was safe to walk on. After some hole cutting with my K-drill setup, I put out some Arctic Warriors tipped with Clam Blade jigs and minnows to cover some more water and set out with my Vexilar 28 to jig up some fish. Well surprisingly the lake is on another cycle of being loaded with small perch again, much like it was a few years ago. Anything tipped with waxies was harassed almost constantly by them. But using the CPT Jointed Pinhead Mino in an exclusive wonder bread color did catch me a few rainbows as I tried to keep the smaller bait stealing perch away from it. Chloe also managed to catch several perch and rainbows as well, sometimes stealing Aaron's Vex. We managed a double at one point, making for a nice picture! Beau and I both started using Clam's Swirl Drop jig tipped with a Maki plastic and I noticed it was not enticing the perch as much which made it easier to fish for the bigger trout we were after. Beau wound up catching the best trout of the morning on it and was happy to tackle something that pulled some drag out after fishing for smaller fish on the ponds with me. Watching his Clam 24" Legacy noodle rod being worked hard by a fish is always fun to watch as well to see the reward of a good fish.

With other lakes locking up and putting on more inches, it will not be long before others will be getting walked on if they are not already. Safety is still key before heading out onto any new lakes right now. It is best to keep bringing out the spud bar, ice picks, safety rope, and float suits if you got one. The recent warm up has passed and now more even more places will soon be ready to try to walk on. But continue to exercise extreme caution and do not go out by yourself. Having a buddy along is always best right now. And having some company always makes for a more interesting outing anyways. Always fun to brag about who has the biggest and smallest fish right!

Back on the Hardwater
Scott Olson

After getting on the ice for the first time this season in late October, a miserable warm-up that lasted two weeks quickly melted all ice in the area. Luckily, temperatures finally dipped, and the higher elevations had below freezing temps which refroze the smaller ponds quickly. But which ones were ready and which ones were not was the question? So, a couple of buddies and I did some exploring several days ago to find small ponds that we could get on. What followed was a day of driving around, using the spud bar a lot, and catching a few fish.

Now I cannot recommend enough that it is probably in the better interest for most to not seek out first ice until you know for sure it is at least 4". The three of us took the necessary precautions and had float suits, ice picks, safety ropes, and a spud bar to check the conditions. Out of five ponds we checked, only one had 4" of the ice. The rest......well, not as much. Unless you take the most extreme precautions, it would be better to wait for thicker ice. The morning started on Mitchell Lake, which we fished on for about 90 minutes, bringing up one fish before we moved on. Sylvan Lake was next, but it was still half open and what was frozen did not feel safe to walk on past five feet from shore. Sunday Gulch was next, and we fished a small area that had just enough ice where we were not too worried. Again, only 1 fish. From here, Anthony headed back to town and Matt and I continued our quest.

We checked out Roubaix next and thought we could get on. But after getting on its ice and spudding out a little way, I determined it was not quite ready to stay on yet. Close, but not worth the higher risk than we were already taking. So, our finally location was Dalton Lake. Here we found clear ice and was right at 4" thick. We finished our day here with Matt catching several, his first fish of the season. Out of five spots, three were fishable and would at least remain that way since temperatures were not going to be getting too cold or too warm for the next few weeks.

Again, safety was paramount to us and we did not spare any tool to make sure that we had the best chance to both get on the ice and to get out of it should the worst have happened. I cannot stress enough that on first ice, you need to make sure you have at least 3 things with you--a float suit, ice picks, and a spud bar. My spud bar is probably my most important tool right now. If it goes through after two hard hits, the ice is not good enough yet. This is how I judge first ice, but in no way should it be everyone's. If you do not feel comfortable being out on thinner ice, do not go onto it. Some of my friends and I are extremely hardcore ice anglers and are willing to take a chance. But we take all safety precautions. For most people, it is best to wait a bit longer. It is coming iceheads! Just need a little more patience.

One Good Fish Is All It Takes
Scott Olson

Watching kids (or anyone really) who is new to the sport of fishing catch fish is always a delight. But watching them fight something that rips line off the reel, that is how to turn them into fishermen or women! I remember when a buddy of mine who had not fished in decades wanted to get back into it. 2nd trip out with him, he caught four lake trout fishing from shore and to say he was hooked would be a massive understatement! And I have gotten a chance to see that look and hear that excitement with kids throughout the last several years as well. But when some friends and their kids were visiting us a few weeks ago, I got to witness it again with the oldest. The struggle with the fish and the excitement and elation of bringing it in and netting it for him. He couldn't' have been happier!

When our friends from the east side of the state decided to take a short vacation in the Hills in October, two of their boys, Johnny and Zachery, had requested some fishing time since we last tried to arrange it a couple of years ago. I had them meet me at the marina at Pactola where I had been having success with some trout here and there. It was a bit chilly and windy and boys were a little underdressed, but we gave it a shot. About 10 minutes into it, Johnny's bobber went down, and he set the hook into a very nice trout. It was a lot of fun watching him try to reel in the fish as the drag was going while his dad and myself were coaching him on how to keep the rod tip up and not jerk the rod around while steadily bringing the fish in towards my net when the fish wasn't running. Thanks to long extension on the Fortis net, I was able to get it into the net before it had a chance to get away struggling closer to shore. As I lifted the fish up, Johnny threw his arm up in victory! It was his biggest fish he had ever caught, a nice 17" rainbow. He was certainly all smiles, though he did not want to hold the fish this time. His brothers, Zachery and Theo, thought it was slimy when they touched it. And as if on cue, right after I released the fish, it started to rain. The boys lasted about 5 more minutes and decided they were done. While it was a quick trip for sure, it was a very eventful one for Johnny.

Since this trip, his parents have told me that he really wants to go fishing with me again and that even some ice fishing would be welcome! They may come visit us over the winter where I would love to take them out on the ice! The boys have been wanting to go fishing over for a while and now that Johnny has caught his biggest fish, he really wants to get back out there! And all it took was one nice fish to plant that seed to get him excited to fish again! It's just a joy to see that love develop and know that I was a part of it and for all I know, Johnny could become so proficient at fishing thanks to this great experience that he does this professionally or gets his own show! Who knows what lies in store for any of these boys in the world of fishing? But the joy is there, and I only hope that it will continue to be nurtured as he gets older. Again, sometimes all it takes is one good fish!

October on the Ice and Extreme Safety
Scott Olson

Well it was sure fun while it lasted! Why do I say that? Well, on Monday Oct. 26th, thanks to a tip from friends Craig Oyler and Chris Peters, I was able to join them on the first ice of the season! It was by far the earliest any of us had been on the ice in the Black Hills. The warm weather that has returned since this outing has pulled the rug out from continuing the hardwater season since then, with temps running into the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The excitement was short lived, but colder temps will finally be returning next week and hopefully the ice will return and be available to get on before Thanksgiving. But I cannot stress enough that first ice, especially when it is still well below what is considered the minimum for walking on safely, is not to be taken lightly and is not for everyone.

The ice on the little pond was just at 2" and hard enough to support us, though we did not fish or kneel close to each other, even for pictures. All 3 of us caught our first iced fish of the season, all of which consisted of small rainbow or brook trout. But cannot complain about fish size when you are on the ice in October! While the excitement of getting on the hardwater before Halloween was extremely high, safety is the highest priority, first and foremost.

Craig used his spud bar to probe the ice and see if it would support our weight. Due to the thickness of the ice, no auger was used. Holes were opened by using the spud bar. We all had on either Ice Armor Rise or Ascent suits from Clam Outdoors which would keep us floating head up in the water should the worst happen. We also all had on ice picks around our necks to use to help pull us out of the water if we fell through. I also had a safety rope nearby should be needed. As always, I also kept a bag with a spare set of clothes in my vehicle to use in case of a need to quickly change out of wet clothes. And of course, most importantly, none of us went out alone. Between the three of us, we had someone to help us if it were needed. Never go out on first ice alone!

For obsessive ice fishermen like the three of us are, we were and are willing to chance thinner ice in order to get out on it and fish it as early as possible, but we do not do it lightly or without planning for the worst. While it may not be the absolute smartest thing we do (and we can admit it), we also do not take chances without having the proper safety equipment on or at the ready. Spud bars are a necessity to test ice integrity in front of you. Float suits are the best investment you can make in keeping you not only warm and cozy from the elements, but also keeping you safer should you fall through. Clam's float suits, along with the other brands out there making them, will help you to better survive a breakthrough should it ever happen. But if a float suit is out of the range, then ice picks around your neck are probably the cheapest insurance policy you can buy! At less than $10, they will be able to help you get a grip on slippery ice and pull yourself out of your situation. I would also recommend watching the numerous videos on the Internet that show you how to get yourself out of the water and out of danger in the best ways. These tools and videos could help save your life.

Doubled Up!
Scott Olson

When you are fishing with friends, family, or other company, if you are lucky, sometimes you get into some fish and there is a chance of a double. We refer to that when two of you get a fish on that near the same time. It doesn't seem to happen very often and I certainly haven't been around to see more than a couple of instances over the years, but it happened not once, but twice in the same morning for me and a couple of friends of mine while we were fishing in a small boat recently.

It certainly made for some entertainment trying to get two fish off at near the same time and get them both to cooperate for a quick pic. It is even better when you try to get both into a net.

I met up with Aaron and his work friend Tristan down at Pactola after telling them of the good trout bite that was still happening at the time. As we headed out to the spot, we could see dozens of trout swimming around on the glass surface and all kinds of surface activity. I was hopeful it was going to be a good morning, especially for Tristan who has been getting back into fishing recently.

Well we were not disappointed! It was a very good morning of being on the water, filled with dozens of fish caught as the trout were particularly active over a three hour stretch before they stopped wanting to chase lures and preferred to have it placed right in front of them. My St. Croix trout series rod got quite a workout over the morning, but it is by far my favorite rod for trout fishing now. And hearing the drag of my Piscifun Viper II reel time and time again was a sheer joy to hear!

After a bit, the bite slowed and Tristan had the idea to tie on an orange spinner, which I honestly did not think would work. Boy was I wrong! After his 5th straight fish, I asked to borrow one of his if he had another one.

Luckily, he did since I had nothing of that color in my box. And so, I proceeded to catch 4 in row myself on it and left it on for the rest of the morning. During the time we were orange colored lures, Aaron and Tristan both tied into one at nearly the same time. I could not reach Aaron's fish at the back of the boat with my Clam Fortis net, but I was able to help Tristan with his.

After they both got their fish free and handled, it made for a sweet picture for sure. And not long after that, both Tristan and I were treated to a double, but this time it was a bit trickier. After I got mine in the Fortis, I told him to keep his line tight and I would get my fish unhooked fast and net his too. Since the bass version of the Fortis is large, I did not think it would be a problem. After a quick hook release, I was able to get his fish netted as well and we had two fish in the net! It was some good timing and luck that we did it before either fish got off. These two instances where the highlight of the morning for me!

It was a fun morning of catching fish and hanging out in a boat with some friends. We could not complain after catching dozens of fish each, enjoying some laughs, and taking in the fresh chilly air. While the bite has largely subsided in the area, it will not be long before the ice comes and hopefully with it, an early bite frenzy! But until then, it was certainly a good time and some impressive catches we had including those elusive doubles.
