EDITOR’S CORNER:
Is it winter yet? Here in Great Falls, we’ve been living with warm Chinook Winds the past
three weeks, with temperatures in the 50s and no snow in sight. It’s been great for upland
bird hunting, not so much for ice fishing around here. That said, I’ve seen the ice fishing posts
start to spread on social media and I know the warmth won’t last. The lakes will freeze over
and offer safe hard water fishing throughout the Pacific Northwest soon. In this issue we
touch on a surprising assortment of winter fishing opportunities. Eric and John offer up some
prime winter ice fishing lake suggestions for you to research. Randy looks at Puget Sound
Blackmouth prospects, and Gary explores trout fishing in open streams. With that and more
great articles, whether it’s hard water, saltwater, or river/lakes there’s something out there to
satisfy your fishing itch!
