Lyons Sleepers

[gspman]

Anyone use Lyon's Sleepers before? What kind of shape are their sleepers in and do they have a nice layout for fishing? Do they work hard to keep you on fish? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I used Tim Lyons last year. He is a class guy and we caught alot of fish. Houses were roomy and comfortable (depending on how many of you are trying to fish).... I think you'll be pleased.

I've never tried a sleeper house before. Is the fishing decent at night? We have stayed at many different resorts and are thinking of doing a sleeper this time.

Fishing at night...ha! Unless you like eel pout! Stayed over night and thats about the only thing..the bottle bass were jumping out of the hole!

Thanks for the input. There's going to be four or maybe five of us. Four is about right for a 6 person sleeper. Any more than that and it starts to get crowded.

The fishing sucks at night. It's just fun to sleep out on the ice and talk smart and drink a few beers when it gets dark.

It's also a lot easier in the morning to just get up, get dressed, and lower your line down the hole, and voila! You're fishing. You've got food in front of you. A radio for tunes, you can play cards, all in a nice warm fishing shack. The alternative is getting up earlier at the hotel, driving, out on the water, getting set up and then fishing, and being cold for a little while until your house warms up. Not knocking that approach. It's the only way to go if you are a hardcore ice angler.

The downside of a sleeper is if the fish aren't going you can't move to find them. All in all, I just love it. Even when the fish aren't going I have a good time. It's a great stress reliever.

My boys and I have used Lyons Sleepers for 10 years and have already made our reservations for this year! There is no one that works harder to keep you on the fish then Tim. He is a class act and always wants to ensure that you're having a great time. I know the minimum number of people Tim & Deb require for a house is four, so you should be OK. Tim will also leave an auger behind if you want to try fishing outside, plus they have a number of day houses nearby that you can use when you're out there. Good luck, but I give them a big thumbs up!!

Excellent fishing and service! Tim also has a number of "day houses" you can use if you want to get out of the sleeper and try some different depths.

I wasn't trying to attack anyone. I was just looking for a web address for Lyons Sleepers. I don't know why my post was deleted. So, does anyone know it?
