Exclusive Sneak Peek: When the Guides Talk Ice, We Listen
Posted by Angela Montana on December 19, 2025
This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast, Downrigger Dale is back with another ice fishing preview—and this one goes a little off the map. Rigger sits down with Nate Sevane and Matt Hoff from Trout On The Fly in Bozeman to break down ice conditions, species, and tactics on four Montana lakes, including two that have never covered before. From Georgetown and Canyon Ferry to Ennis and Harrison (Willow Creek Reservoir), the guys dig into whether there’s ice yet, what is biting, and how to approach each lake safely and effectively. Toss in some bonus talk about iconic summer rivers flowing through Yellowstone, and you’ve got an episode that might just change your weekend plans.

When game wardens responded, they found the moose deceased from her injuries.
