only one lake

[Doop]

To pass the time until the water cools a little....if you could only ice fish one lake this winter which one would you choose and why?

[Azrael]

Lake Of The Woods for Walleye. Simply because it’s a great fishery. I like to make it up there a couple times each winter.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Sarah. It's aboot 15 minutes from my house and is a walleye, perch, and crappie factory.

[riverrat56]

Diamond, same reasons as boilerguy....

[Team Otter]

Lake Gogebic. Please refer to the Michigan forum.

[hawkeye43]

Why would anyone want to drive all that way for perch, TO???

[maros91]

Mille Lacs, only half hour away for me,2nd- Lake of the Woods

[SP180]

Devils lake ND. Not much else up here that is close.

[IceHawk]

Lake Of The Woods a world class fishery!

[fishinrush]

I guess it depends on where you live, what fish you are targeting and how far you are willing to drive. I personally focus on panfish and live only a few miles from Rush Lake so I spend most of my time there.

[Sandmannd]

I'm actually still looking for my go to lake. Only been ice fishing for a couple of years and only serious last year. I so far I would say going up north. Either Mille Lacs or Red. Wanna make it to LOW this year.

West Lake Okaboji multi species, large lake, short drive so I could fish more often. For long drive, most certainly LOTW.

[PerchPounder]

muc if your gonna take my lake you could at least spell it right(Okoboji)and what good is the lake without your guide?

[muc33]

I figured if I spelled it wrong, no one would be able to find it.... way to ruin that plan!

[Mr.Seaguar]

Maybe you hadnt noticed, but a few folks already found West Okoboji. If the people from WI could fish a lick, there wouldnt be anything left in that lake. Luckily they cant so the fishing is still awesome. Its my lake too I guess.

[BigWadeS]

LOW

[looneyducer]

Devils Lake, N.D., hands down. She had me kicking the vex more than once last year. What a fishery.

[Scott M]

Mille Lacs, Winni, or Red. Depends on the year and how things have been going before they freeze up. Usually good for multiple species.

Also, Lake X has been good to me every time I've fished it in the winter.

[dan z]

I havent been on a lake since mid june but just like everyone else lake x is always a good spot to go. the big pond is usually next in line when on a trip.

[perchking]

I am with "TO" on this one for choosing Lake Gogebic for perch, a close 2nd is Little Bay De Noc for MONSTER EYES.

[D4 Army]

Trout lake off of Vermillion for lake trout

[paceman]

LOW is always a great trip. Walleye, sauger, perch OH MY!!!!!!

[Bobberboy]

Clearwater Lake in Wright county.

1/2 Mile from the house

2 to 3 Walleyes a night

Large gills and crappies

"Your bobbers down!"

[CNY Lee]

Oneida Lake in NY (1/2 mile from home) and I can catch just about any fresh water fish in it. It's a great walleye, bass and perch lake but the panfish (crappies & gills) is a good kept secret. Only the old timers know from years past (catch and sell) about the panfishing and everyone else mostley targets the walleye and perch in the winter.

[glenn57]

winnie! second choice my secret lake.
