There was 3" on the upper St. Louis Saturday and Sunday. Iced 8 'eyes on Sat, 9 on Sun. I'm sure the ice is junk after todays temps.

Hey this is Jason from Gibbins Ice Fishing on Lake of the Woods. Up here we have some ice in the river right now, about 1 1/2-2 inches. And it is starting to creep out onto the lake. Hopefully we will be able to go out the end of the month.
Fish on,
Jason

Fire and Ice:

Welcome. Which part of that giant LOW are you on? Warroad? Baudette? Angle? Warroad River? Rainy River? Eh?

Love that ice, but be caaaaaaaaareful.

[Twigfishers]

Hi Jason from Gibbins! Look foreward to seeing you guys in January! Say Hi to Bryant!

Last night I put fresh gas in the Jiffy, and blasted a few holes on Beaver Lake in Twig. 4 1/2 to 5 inches to my suprise! Although it's pretty warm this week, and can see water pooling on the surface this morning.

Alot of the smaller lakes in NE ND are froze over. I iced a few perch Sunday evening on about 4"-6" of ice. Highs near 40 today will probably ruin everything but the lows are still in the twenties. There still maybe some ice around this weekend. Good Luck.

Lake Traverse was froze over this weekend. Saw 3 deer go across it to SD, 2 of them made it, 1 ended up swimming.

The guys I hunt with saw 2 guys out there ice fishing Sunday...

Was up north of grand rapids for deer opener. everything was frozen, lakes, rivers, you name it. Didnt see anybody or anything on any of it, but I'd bet those lakes had enough to support a person seeing that it hadnt gotten over freezing in a couple weeks. Wouldnt try it though.

I bet we lost most of our ice?

There is 6-8 inches on Red lake. ATV's are getting out. There was a major crack that opened up out from Rogers. Call before you go.

You guys are killing me!!! If we dont get ice soon here in mid michigan Im gonna go cray!!!! Im ready to jig for some eyes!!!Its firearm deer season right now but that just doesnt cut it for a ice fishing addict!!! I guess I will have to get the waders and target some fall steelhead and Lake run browns untill ice!! But nothing beats a 10 lb plus walleye through the ice!!!

Many of the smaller lakes around Hackensack are iced over, but many are also ice-free. We had 5-6" off our shoreline on Rice Portage, but I think I'm still gonna' wait a while before venturing out too far. I'm afraid this week is gonna' be a killer for ice.

The smaller lakes around Hackensack are iced over, but many of the larger and wind-exposed lakes are still open. Broadwater Bay of Woman Lake has ice all the way across, but not much on the main lake. I'm on Rice Potage and it is entirely iced over. I walked out about 50' and drilled a hole on Sunday, and drilled through 5-6" of ice, but I was still too leery about going out any farther because Big Portage was still mostly open. I'm afraid this week is gonna' be a killer for ice. Guess the wait continues.
