Any lake recommendations out there?

[wild_instigator]

My fishing buddy was finally able to talk his wife into letting him out of the house for a day and get some ice fishing in. We're heading out Saturday, but after reviewing the recent posts, sounds like we're a little late for Bald Eagle.

After the high temps and rain we had today (and probably tomorrow God forbid), anyone out there have a recommendation for a good all around walleye and crappie lake within 1-1.5 hour drive of the cities? We're looking for some peace and quiet...but somewhere that won't be standing water still on Saturday. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Try West Rush by Cigar Island if you want Crappies and Walleyes. If you want peace and quiet...dont try West Rush by Cigar Island!

Thanks for the info. I pulled the maps the DNR had for the lake and made sure I had directions, then my fishing buddy's wife tightened her grip. So, now we're going to Bald Eagle after all so he can stay close to home. I'm wondering if they make big enough augers to drill a hole she could fit through...
