Leech Lake

Upper Red

Lake Of the Woods

Devil's Lake

Which one would you go to? I've been to Upper Red, Winni, and Devil's had great luck at all of them.

Only one of those I haven't ice fished a bunch is Leech.

If you are interested in variety, hit up LOW since you haven't been there before. As for those fisheries listed I'd pick Devils Lake hands down over the rest for ice fishing. Trophy 'eyes, pike and perch, liberal line allowances. I spent many a winter day when I lived in N.D. fishing a couple tip-ups for pike and jigging for perch during the day, then moving into the edge of the flooded timber for 'eyes before sundown. Not hard at all to limit out on all three species in a day. But you probably know that, since you've fished there before.

Of course, if you wanna get into some lake trout, the Ontario side of LOW would put you there for trip No. 2. Good crappies up in that neck of the LOW, too.

Hey that guy above me does a guide deal for Laker's on Burntside that I didn't see on your list?. Or I would go to LOW if you want a full service trip and nice resorts.

Honestly, I'd go to LOTW twice, but that is because I am a walleye guy

[kevfish1]

I will be going to Mille Lacs in late December, Then Winnie in early January and LOTW in late January.

LOTW and the Gulf of Mexico.

[muc33]

Devils Lake is a trip I want to make for sure... And then Winipeg! Lake of the Woods is always a given for me, so I always look to add to the fun.

[Fred_Bear]

Dec 30 - Tullies and perch on Leech

Dec 31 - Eyes and crappies on LOW

Jan 1, 2 - Lakers on LOW

Thats how you combine 2 into 1

[&JAG]

LOTW and LEECH

[JBMasterAngler]

If you want variety, go to chequamegan bay...coho salmon, splake, brown trout, lake trout, whitefish, smelt, and jumbo perch! LOTW would also be an excellent choice.

[topcat3820]

Red river at Selkirk for first ice... Lake Winnipeg for last ice in March, period. If you threw a third choice in... LOTW by Kenora for lakers for the Ontario trout opener .

[fishinfey8]

Either Lake Winnipeg in march, or The Red River for first ice would be my first choice. My second trip would be to devils lake.

Chequamegan Bay would be a very close third!

You have good taste, my friend . Some poor fool had the gall to call Quinte the walleye capital of the world today on a popular ice fishing site . No worries, though... I educated him .

[harvey lee]

LOW's and a trip or to to Rainy and one for the late pike bite.

The late ice pike tip up bite for size and numbers has to be one of the top lakes in the state.

[engfish]

Shhhhhh...the locals don't want you to let that secret out. Just let 'em keep driving north to Devils Lake and LOTW.

Lake Winnipeg

Red Lake (twice)
