Love it we fish Antero for the big ones, you know your in a good place when you are putting 3.5#ers back.

11 mile also nothing like trying to hawg in a big pike.

Huts, heaters, beer.

My brother does, and I'm planning on going with him this winter. Looking forward to it

Haven't seen lids thick enough for me yet but when it does your more than welcome to join me. I like green mountain and red feathers the best. size isn't great but tons of fish are caught.

I used to live near Kipling and Hampden and there is a small lake just behind that golf course that I used to see people ice fishing on all the time. It is still in a Lakewood zip code, so I'd say pretty close to you.

Been fishing my whole damn life but have never ice fished for some damn reason. I want to try it out this year too, but I ain't doing it without a shack, heater and probably beer/liquor, unless its really warm out.

Which golf course?

Henry Lake on the north side of Quincy just behind the Foothills golf course (between Hampden/Quincy and Kipling/Wads) is on the Federal Prison land...no go. The smaller lake on the south side of Quincy by the apartments is public.

The other courses are Fox Hollow and Homestead and they are a mile or two west of Kipling. They do have a couple lakes including the bigger Bear Creek Lake nearby.

There is also Harriman Lake on the south-west corner of Kipling and Quincy that freezes over. I fish it during the summer. Trout, bass, cats. Don't know about ice fishing though...

A good friend of mine has a cabin right off of Red Feathers that I pretty much always have access to. I plan to try ice fishing at some point up there.

The best part about red feathers is when you take a hut and block out the outside light. You can see the fish as they take the bait. No sonar needed!
