Goodby kayak fishing, hello ice fishing

Increasingly cold weather and shelves of ice on the shores of lakes in Western Montana finally persuaded me to store my kayak fishing gear for the winter.  But Lindbergh Lake is one of the last lakes to freeze, because it's pretty deep.  On December 8, the Lindbergh Lake webcam showed no ice on the lake, so I decided to do some lake trout fishing from shore.  But on the night of December 9, temperatures in the low single digits completely or partially froze over all the lakes in the area.  I was disappointed to find ice well out from shore on December 10.  I ended up ice fishing on Salmon Lake instead.
