2016 Cedaredge 4th Annual Ice Fishing Contest Information

Sharpen those augers. This is another one of those fun winter events in this area. Each year the contest keeps getting bigger. 

2016 Cedaredge 4th Annual Ice Fishing Contest InformationHere's more information:

If you've never been ice fishing you should check out this contest. It's really a good time and if you use common sense and dress right, it's not cold at all. It can really be quite pleasant and very fun. Over the years I've spent a lot of time on the ice fishing and hanging out and enjoying the scenery around me. I've also seen some really big fish come through that small hole in the ice. You can use a gas or hand powered auger. I have a hand powered one and it's never been a problem getting through the ice. That's because someone else always cuts the hole for me. 

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 26 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

Hi Debbie Laity ,  I have never been ice fishing, but I remember as a kid, wlking out on the local lake and talked to some of the fishermen with their little shanty's and kerosine heaters.

I'm impressed, Kathleen Daniels . I'm mainly a catch and release person, too. I have to buy my fish at the store. There are a lot of reasons I practice this, but mainly it's due to the fishing pressure a lot of our lakes and streams have.

Hi, Larry Johnston ...the gear and the huts have come a long way. There is some pretty cool stuff out there for ice fisherman.

Save your fishing for a warm day, Sussie Sutton . I do like to fish. I mainly love just being outside and looking at the scenery. Although I do pretty well. I flyfish and I'm not too bad at it.

Getting someone to make the hole in the ice is my toughest battle of the day, Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR, CRS, CIPS, SRES . After that everything else is a piece of cake.

Do you like the way I do that, Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint . Don't go ice fishing with me unless you want to power the auger.

I still enjoy it, Endre Barath, Jr. , although I don't have much time for it anymore. Plus it's getting more difficult to find someone to work the auger.

You make me laugh, Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, Broker, Tacoma Washington . We just lay them out on the ice for everyone to see. When you ice fish, there's no need to bring any ice with you. You have plenty of it.

Hi, Joe. I guess winter has been kind to you this year. You haven't gotten buried in snow yet. I hope you get when you need, but no more.

Hi, James Dray ...you do make me laugh. I'm not sure I'll be at the event, but you never know. And if I do catch that big un...it will be in your honor. How does that sound.

Ice fishing is fun, Gabe Sanders , but I bet you have some really great fishing in Florida and there's probably no need to travel to fish. LOL. Especially ice fishing.

Hi, Roy Kelley ...if I can get up there for the event and find someone to auger the hole for me, I will be happy to share my pictures. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, Brian England ...I can understand you NOT wanting to ice fish. You are one of those warm blooded Arizona people, and that OK. I get it.

Hi, Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert ...one of the things I didn't write about ice fishing is the creaking and groaning of the ice. It can be scary when you aren't use to it. It took me a few times out to get use to those sounds.

Well, Scott Godzyk ...I learned something new about you. I had no idea you liked to ice fish. Why don't you fly out for this event. You can auger the hole.
