Fleet Farm in Rochester has a few things out, but not everything. I saw a few rods/reels, about 1/2 aisle of limited jigs, and some of the bigger stuff like augers, picks, and heaters.

I picked up a new sunflower, some flouro and about $20 worth of Hali droppers.

Gander Mountain in Blaine started to get their ice fishing stuff out on yesterday. They had rods and lures and some electronics out. Some of the stuff was on sale also.

Gander in EP is starting to get stuff out. Normally it's in Nov so we have a couple weeks. I'm excited to, but there's still awesome open water fishing to be had for a month.

GM in Forest Lake was starting to get stuff out when I was there last Thursday. They had augers and a few rods out along with some sleds.

as of yesterday Fleet farm in Brooklyn Center had a bunch of Rods but that was it.

I'll second the Scheels in Mankato is really on it. They had most of the summer stuff pulled off the shelves and the houses, augers, vexilars, and some rods and reels were out. The bulk ice jigs were out too. This was about 5 days ago already.

Reeds in walker has just about all their stuff out or pretty close to it. L&M fleet in Detroit lakes has some rods out and a lot of stuff to be put on the shelves

[shizzy]

Joe's in Roseville had a few tip ups and a handfull of rod/reel combos when I stopped in today for a cup of waxies but that was it.

Im assuming in the metro we have a week or so untill it starts to drop.

Just got back from L&M Supply in Hibbing and they're putting out ice fishing gear as we speak.

[JaySt.cloud]

I was told Cabelas would be putting stuff out on the 15th

[MIke A]

I was told that Fleet in Fergus would have it out by now, but nothing out yet. Haven't seen anything in the Fergus Falls/Perham areas but I haven't hit Detraoit Lakes or Fargo yet.

Cabelas IN owatana had squat! Said it will be a week or so.

The New gear for the 2009 ice season is starting to roll in now at Gander here in Fargo. We are setting it as it arrives. New Jiffys are in and we sold several already. We are waiting on the new StikeMasters to drop yet. I'll get them out as fast as they roll in..count on that!

The big push will start in about a week when the new models of ice shacks should hit the floor.

In Fargo the New Clam Ice Armor and X-Suits and accessories are in and out on the floor, including the new Red/Grey woman's and youth X-Suits. The new Clam ice shack toys are in now too.

New Chubbys, New Lindy stuff, and new other lures will be a week or so off yet.

Work in progress, but we are on it!

[wplatehunter]

Both Gander mtn. and Scheels in Mankato have most of there ice fishing stuff out

[nubote]

[Ed Carlson]

Any Salmo Zippers yet, Ed?

Not yet...but very soon. I have the NEW colors in Salmo Zippers and the New Salmo Chubbys on the way in. Hopefully they will be in and up by next week, or sooner.

I'm very eager to use them before ice up.
