Elk hair caddis fly for the win. That was the real go-to fly in Montana during summer. Itâs a lot of fun because itâs easy to see and you rarely miss strikes.

Yeah weâre with you wife, I wait till there is a small town of ice huts and 2 lane roads before I go out. Hoping for good clear ice this year, last year the ice was good all over, a little too good when your cheap ass buddies wonât buy a gas auger lol 2 holes with a hand auger and I need a 20 min nap

If you have a strong brushless drill (or get one), Get yourself a clam drill plate! Or any adapter for your hand auger to a drill. Or just get the eskimo pistol auger bit.
I have a 725in/lb Milwaukee drill and a 7â lazer auger rigged to a clam plate, after a season watching me use mine, two of my friends (who are fishing guides) went out and got similar setups the next year. Plenty of talk on drill augers over on the Iceshanty.com forum.

My fishing is minimal. Used to fish with my grandad when about 8 years think we cooked a trout I caught on my eighth birthday werenât the best tasting by memory. Then there was when I was working Netherlandsâs they put us on caravan park in a chalet (hut) half over reaching a man made lake with loads of fat carp. My mate bought a 10 guilder rod and I picked up something too which I later found out was a pike rod, then we went to work. 10 guilders at the time was about ÂŁ3 same price price as an xtc pill. The guilder used to fluctuate at between 3.4 - 3.6 to sterlingÂŁ . Think usual price in coffee shops depending which city you were in a not including Amsterdam. Was 10 grams for 100 hundred guilders.
There was an old German dude in tent next to us who started helping us land the carp as we had no landing net. But think he got pissed of when all his expensive equipment caught him nothing while we reeled in whoppers lol

Which is easier on a wrist a drill that put my hand in this predicament in the first place or a big ass Eskimo gas drill?

On the wrist, a clam plate with a shaver style auger like the standard eskimo, mora, or any of the cheaper options, theyâre all the same and most of them take the same blades, make sure you get the extension to make them taller. or the nils but the cutting head is more expensive to replace and you canât just sharpen them yourself, you need to send them to a guy in the Midwest. The lazer style augers tends to catch the bottom of the ice, but the clam plate makes it more balanced and ergonomic so you should be fine. I couldnât imagine dragging a gas auger around for as many holes as I punch.
