muskiebayresort Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Well it looks like we will be icefishing soon on Crow Lake, and Lake of the Woods. I wanted to mention that you won't need passports until maybe June 2008 and even then it might not go into effect. Looking forward to seeing everyone and to go fishing again.

tearin' lips Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 As a frequent visitor of both Crow and Lake of the Woods. How is the ice up there. Did you get alot of snow in the last 24 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hey Bill, yes, we have had quite a bit of snow in the past week or so. I would guess we are in the neighborhood of 7-8" here. We've also had a really nice cold snap here, with temps going to -10 (F) and not getting much warmer than 0 in the day.We will hope for the best.

JustinG Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hey Hemlock,How much ice is out in the Clearwater Bay area?Thanks,Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearin' lips Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks Hemlock! I hope that it doesn't effect the quality of the ice. I also hope that we don't get any slush! Take Care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Justin, Clearwater Bay is one of the last parts of the lake to freeze (next to Whitefish Bay). On my way past it yesterday, it was still open.Slush will most likeley be an issue for early ice travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinG Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks, Buddy.I was hoping it wasn't frozen yet. You are right, this snow is bad news. I have been checking ice conditions here and there hasn't been any new ice formed since last Thursday. How much snow do you have up there? Thanks,Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'd say we are now up to about 1 foot of snow here. Some tracks on LOTW at the landing where the ice road starts, but not too many. Still haven't heard any reports of ice on LOTW, aside from the obvious where I can see it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemlock Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Justin, sorry for the delay, been away for a couple of days. Ice is not great. Snowmobile travel only right now, which isn't so bad. Might be a while before we see a decent ice road.Where are you going to be ice fishing for Lakers? Kenora area, or south by Sioux Narrows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskiebayresort Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Ice out of Lake of the Woods in the Nestor Falls area is 8-10 inches and Crow Lake now has 6-8 the snow is not slushie.

Lotwfisher Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 We need to organize a FM fishing day on Lake of the Woods one day. Hemlock, I have never fished kenora in the winter, maybe this would be a good winter to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Which species? Walleye or Lake Trout? Or both? I will definitely help get this organized if there is enough interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotwfisher Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Umm I dont care, I just need an excuse to make myself drive to Kenora haha. I think walleye would be fun as I am usually fishing trout on Crow alot. Always up for a change.Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinG Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey Hemlock, Do both species! Lake Trout fishing until till 3 pm. Then Walleyes (Pickerel )from 3-6 pm! That would be a blast! I would be interested! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
