Is there a public access on upper whitefish that is usable? I drove up there last week and found one, but it didn't look like anyone was using it.

There are many place to get on Whitefish, Depends where you want to fish. On Upper whitefish there is Delta bay landing, (where the Pine River dumps in) on the West side, Also have Killworry resort on the north end, they charge a couple bucks to go through on a honor system box.

On the south side you can get on off Old Whiskey road, takes you out by the islands. On Lower Hay there is a public access on the south side, but the ice was only 7-8" as of last friday.

There is a small landing (rough) on Pig bay, more on Lower Whitefish, and also can drive off the road on Rutger bay, using Rutger road. Also there is a landing on the East side of Big Trout lake, and 2 on the East side of Crosslake. Many options out there, just stay away from the channels, they don't freeze up or if they do it's very thin.

i can put up a poll if you want, what lakes do you want on there.

Gull, North Long, Round, Pelican, Whitefish...these would be a good start.

[Huey]

Just put Whitefish on the list...ha, ha....

Delta bay isn't bad to get out of most years, just stay to the right, the current is on the upper left side. On Lower Hay there was only 8" of ice as of last Saturday, that is why there wasn't much activity on it, and slush out there. I know Heaths resort has a road plowed all the way around the north side of Upper.

[bassNspear]

i will get a post up tonight to vote! If there is other lakes you all want to put up, please let me know!

If the ice was better could you get from Lower Hay onto Whitefish? The channel area must be tricky.

BTW, thanks for posting the whitefish pics. Very cool. My introduction to spearing was tagging along with a high school buddy that speared whitefish. That was many moons ago. I want to try for them myself now.

dude, you act like your 70 or something

dude, you act like your 70 or something

At least he is not as old as elwood

[bassNspear]

[merkman]

I'm surprised he don't have a crutch tip on the back end of his spear!!

The sad thing is that he can still out cut me when it comes to cutting the hole. lol

Absolutely NOT, Stay away from any channel on the chain, they seldom freeze over, If they do its only about 1-2" of ice at best, the when it warms up around 10 - 20º it will open back up. We just had 2 kids from the metro area drop there snowmobiles through one of the channels, So stay away from them. I'm on one of the fire departments up here. its no fun recovering a body...... They made it out luckily, some frost bite and torn egos. so all was good, except the sled. There was a truck that went through also on Gull lake, out in front of Ernies. didn't get all the details on that.
