    Default North to Nebraska


    We decided to cross the border for a short trip in search of safer ice. Went to Merrit and the refuge lakes by Valentine. Merrit was a picturesque canyon reservoir full of 12 to 13" black footballs and a few bonus pike that inhaled the crappie offerings. Nice to get away from the crowds as we only saw four anglers in 3 days. Name: IMG_20131216_170124.jpg Views: 367 Size: 82.0 KB

    Skinner, ice thickness was 8" of good clear ice on the upper 2/3 of the reservoir. We did not fish the very lower end so I have no idea how it was there. Refuge lakes were generally 10" or so. Good #'s of crappie with 3 year classes from 7" to the 12" ers.

    Never caught one of those. How far north is it? Couple hours from KC?

    Looks like a fish that would put up a pretty good fight.
