Nestor Falls, LOTW, White Fish Bay Fishing Reports & Crow Lake Fishing Reports by Muskie Bay Resort

[muskiebayresort]

All of us in Nestor Falls are getting excited about the ice fishing season.

We are making ice!! LOTW already looks ready, we are going to venture out this weekend. Crow Lake is froze over, it is looking better than it did last year. Not a lot of snow that is good, it will make some good solid blue ice.

Good to hear ice is coming along. How is Whitefish Bay looking?

[muskiebayresort]

Went out to check the ice on LOTW today in Nestor Falls, we had 8 inch of ice. Saw 3 guys on 4-wheelers going across the lake. Kids were on LOTW playing hockey. I will be going out in the next few days and see if I can catch some crappies, walleye, perch and pike. I will keep you posted on Whitefish Bay also, hope to get up there in a day or two.

Hope to see you on the ice.

We are making ice, experiencing some very cold weather. We don't have a lot of snow so we are making solid ice. There is 8 inch on LOTW 4 wheelers are driving on the ice. Crow lake is froze over as far as I can see, looking a lot better than last year.

Sweet! Looks like the satellite image from yesterday has Crow and most all the portage lakes around it locked up...See you in a few weeks!!!

When you say Lake of the Woods, are you talking about Whitefish or Sabaskong?

[Eastwind]

The section of LOW that M.Bay Resort is closest to is Steven's Bay, just North of Nestor Falls.

[muskiebayresort]

We did not get any of the rain turning into heavy snow that the Pipestone area got. We have about 10-12 inches of great ice on LOTW Stevens Bay between Sabaskong and Whitefish Bay. Gordy plowed out to Cyclone and reports that crappie fishing is great. I went out today myself for a while, I am going to put more time in tomorrow.

[FishinFreaks]

Any word on how ice on Whitefish is coming?

[muskiebayresort]

Went up to the south east end of Whitefish Bay where I fish for Lake Trout, Pike, Whitefish and Smallies on LOTW and I found 5 inches of ice. We have had some cold temps with a minimum amount of snow, with no slush. This week we are expected to stay below 0 F for days. It is diffently better than last years ice at this time. Hope to see you on the ice.

[FishinFreaks]

We'll be up on the 2nd. Can't wait. Almost better than Christmas morning.

[Cheers]

Hope you had fun trout fishing today . I wonder what gives you the right to trout fish during closed season .

[muskiebayresort]

I am sorry but you must have misunderstood my ice condition report, I have not been fishing for trout and will not be fishing for trout until the 1st of the year. I have been out fishing for crappies and pike.

[Cheers]

My apologies I misinterpreted your post .

How was the fishing? WFT

[Eastwind]

WFT,

On another topic, has has your Narrow Trail bracket for your auger been holding up?

[welfedted]

I could not be happier. It worked great last season, and I hope to use it again come the 1st. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! WFT

[FishinFreaks]

What's the narrow trail bracket? Picture? Link? Sounds nice by the name. I'm assuming it has the auger coming off the back of a sled instead of side to side?

[welfedted]

If you look back at my post on 2-21-12 regarding ice fishing report Morson you'll see a picture of it in the backround. WFT

[muskiebayresort]

Crow Lake has 8 inches on the main lake and 6 inches on the narrow.It is cold out -2 below F today we are making ice with about 1 inch of snow on the lake. LOTW we are driving trucks and Whitefish Bay has 8 inches. We are ready for this up coming weekend.

how many trout lakes can you fish out of your resort via snowmobile? i am thinking about heading up there sometime in march. i have heard good things about your place and that you can explore some smaller lakes off the beaten path.

thanks.

[Eastwind]

WFT,

Great to hear! I'm glad that it is working well for you. When are you headed up to chase Lakers next?

E.W.

[muskiebayresort]

You can have 2 lake trout on Crow Lake and the smaller lakes you can have 1 in possession. Hope to see you on the ice.

Sorry I didnt phrase that question very well.

How many trout lakes can you fish from your resort? There is Crow and Whitefish bay. Is that it or are there other trout lakes you can snowmobile to.

Thanks.
