[Muskiemanzan13]

Was up today and found out some lakes had a surprisingly large amount of ice on t hem. Such as Wood lake for example. Wood had 8"-10"

What is the ice thickness on Yellow right now. I'm heading to the inlaws on Lake 26 next weekend and was just wondering if it's ATV or 4x4 accessible.

[Muskiemanzan13]

ATV's I believe. There is 8"-8 1/2" of ice which will be plenty. I will be on yellow tomorrow and can give you a more accurate ice thickness.

Tight lines!

Tight lines!

Thanks and good luck!

[Muskiemanzan13]

No problem!

[Muskiemanzan13]

Yellow had 8"-9" of solid ice. It was a skating rink. I mean like a window pane. But slipperey. and a dead sea

[Baitchaser]

Where have you been going out of Muskieman?

[Muskiemanzan13]

I got out of Ike Walton's.

On yellow there was also permanents of all sizes that could be pulled by ATVs.

A TON of vehicles out on wood lake on 10-11 inches. Also got 10 nice gillz from big trade. mmmmm they were a good snack while watching the game.

[Muskiemanzan13]

Come on guys! I know you've been out! Post up your reports!

[Sinker]

Ok, ok. Went up the Saturday before Xmas. Went out from Ike's and at that time there was 6"-7" of ice. Probably driving on now. Caught 3 'eyes, only one legal, and missed or lost a couple others. Planning on going up again next weekend.

[Muskiemanzan13]

I hope to see your report! I'll be on Upper Red this weekend though. After that I'm back to Burnett Co.! By then I'm thinking we'll drive out on Big Wood. This past weekend there was vehicles ALL OVER big wood on 10-12 inches of ice. A little thin for me though.

But until then, good luck and STAY SAFE!

[Sinker]

Will do. Good Luck.

Yellow Lake-

Some small 14-16 inch walleyes caught on the shoreline breaks out from Ike's right at dark. There is 11-13 inches of ice on yellow with some guys choosing to drive out on the lake.

Trade&Wood lakes-

Trade lake;

Caught a meal of 10 gills out from the access and off the point on the left side in 14-17 FOW. Trade has 8-11 inches of ice.

Wood lake;

Some bigger crappies being caught off the breaks off the islands in Akermark bay. Wood lake has 12-15 inches of ice.

There will be driveable ice (12-14 inches) on most lakes in the area by this coming weekend.

Good luck fishing and saty safe!

Thanks for the great report Muskie! Nice to have another set of eyes in the area. Hope to make it up there soon.

[Muskiemanzan13]

No problem Don!

I'll have another report coming in soon!

Maybe Monday or so? If not later next week sometime.

As I'll be on Upper Red from Fri.-Sun.

I went out on Lake 26 last weekend. Fished from 10AM to 6PM on the east end and all I caught was a couple small perch and 1 northern. I'm hoping to make it up to Yellow in the next couple weeks once the walley bite picks up.

[Muskiemanzan13]

Yellow, the MAIN walleye bite happens daybreak and right at dark. The best places to be at these times is on Becky's bar and the breaks off the north shore.

Good luck!

[Muskiemanzan13]

I also forgot to add, if you were to look on a GPS depth map of Yellow, you'll see there is a hump off the north shore that is out and to the left of the open-water channel. That would be another place I would try for walleyes towards dark or at daybreak.

Good luck fishing!

[Muskiemanzan13]

I know this is for the wrong area but, I just had to show my catch off that me, my dad, my Dad's friend and my grandpa caught this past weekend on Upper Red Lake. We kept 16 walleyes, lost 13 walleyes, and released 16 smaller walleyes.

[Sinker]

Nice. Looks like some good action and good eatin' there. Told you I'd report from this weekend. Fished Yellow Lake twice. Caught seven 'eyes total. Three were legal. Fished out from Ikes's.

[DonBo]

Nice catch Muskieman!

Thanks for the report Sinker. Sure hope I can get up there before too much longer. What's the ice conditions like? People driving out?

[Muskiemanzan13]

Hey Don,

I'm actually almost positive people are driving out.

Hope to have a more detailed report after Saturday.

[Sinker]

DonBo and Muskiemanzan13, yeah they're driving all over the lake. Had over a foot of clear ice. Early in the season when I need to pull the sled out I get on at the landing next to Ike's but when I'm driving on I get on at Jefferies landing and drive across and that's what I did the second day after I knew they were driving out there. Have a gray GMC Canyon so stop on by if you see it out there. Usually up every couple weeks. The St. Croix river is a closer place to fish for me but it's so crowded and slow down there that I save my "get out of jail" card with my wife and head up north when I can. Good Luck.

[DonBo]

I hear that. I fished the Croix hard this weekend, and it's not been good. Maybe next week I'll get up there.

Thanks again for the reports!

[Muskiemanzan13]

Anyone know what the ice like on big trade or big wood? Will be up there on Friday.
