Ice Fishing Kansas

As artic high pressure settles in over the plains states, with temperatures dropping into the single digits those of us who are experienced in this sport pray for no wind. No wind combined with near zero temps mean one thing to me, the flatland lakes will start to freeze. So we get our ultra-lite tackle ready, dig out our warm cloths and head for the lakes. Having ice fished for over 25 years the first question is which lake? My personal favorite is Cheney. It seems once the ice is on this lake for a week or more the fish go wild! Some people seem to think that ice fishing Kansas is for the birds, but those people have yet to experience the thrill of a large striper, wiper, walleye on light tackle. On even those extreme cold days if the fish are hitting the cold doesn't seem to be a factor. On Cheney I have fished days when I caught striper, wiper, walleye, white bass, and chanel cat out of the same ice hole, how is that for a selection? I can recall a day when you could not fish two rods at once as soon as you dropped the second one in it was not fish-on but 2 fish-on! Everyone for as far a I could see was pulling nice whites and a few stripers up on the ice. Certainly there are those days when the cold out weighs the fishing, and the cold blooded dare not venture out but if you pick your day carefully it is a experience you won't soon forget!     Madd Jack Ice Fishing Trips Since Ice fishing does not require as much equipment and preparation as normal fishing trips my rates are reduced to $40 off my normal trip prices. The lakes I will fish will depend on where the stripers or wipers are bitting the best and of course where the ice is the best. The normal ice season is from Jan. to Mar. but does vary from year to year and at times the ice never thickens to the safe level. So if you ever wanted to try this sport, call or email and I will put you on the list so when the season starts you will be contacted and we can work out a trip for you.
