Living in the Turtle Mountains of No. Central ND, Our lakes are smaller but provide lot's of excellant fishing, right now the ice is between 6 to 7" on Lake Metigoshe (early ice bring's good Blue gill fishing) and Long Lake. Located approx. 15 miles North of Bottineau,ND.(Pop 3500)and elevation of about 3400. The lake's are nestled among a forest of popular and pine and does draw out of state the hard core looking for 1st ice..Dave Genz has been here a few times. It is truly a well kept secret.

Good to hear guys! The ice will be building from tonight until Saturday! Tomorrow and Friday highs in the low 20's lows in the single digits! We should put on 2-3"s with that kinda cold!

Smaller shallow lakes still skimmed over today in the N Metro. I saw a picture from a guy that measured 1-1.5" in Alexandria so you are probably safe to shad that too!

Marcell Area....

B.I.-Frozen, Both Smith Lakes-Frozen, Pughole-Frozen, North Star-Somewhat/mostly open, Small shallower lakes-Frozen. Deep lakes(caribou, Kremer, Johnson on 38)-Open. I threw a large rock(twice the size of a softball) off our fairly steep and high hill, onto the lake and the rock did not break through the ice. Also, 3-4 feet out from where my dock was, the ice was 2-3 inches.

Friendly Reminder. As these small out of the way lakes freeze up. Please remember to use public access's or public land to gain access and try to avoid trespassing. A knock on the door and friendly request can go a long way. Sneaking around on private property never ends well. Good luck and be safe!

Update: a friend called and wanted to go out so off we go to the bait shop then headed out. Got to the lake and couldn't get on. Overnight it had gotten about a quarter inch of snow on it and prevented it from getting enough ice to walk on, not quite 2 inches. That was on a bay (near Hayward WI) that had an inch Tuesday.

Lastnight I checked two lakes here in west cental MN. The shallow lake had 2.5" the deep lake had no ice at all. This morning Ive got 1 degree out there with no wind. That should make some ice, man I'm pumped for early ice.

I have not been out and about in the lake country.

Been tied up with stuff here in Moorhead, clearing the slate so I can get out fishing.

I know the Red River here in town is pretty much iced over and with the current that has it has always been an indicator to me that safe ice can possibly be found on the smaller lakes in Ottertail county.

5º here in town this am.... calm...

Lake Minnewaska in Glenwood looked pretty locked up this morning. I have not been on top of the hill to see if the center froze over or not, but in front of Peter's Sunset Beach Resort looking west it has a nice cap on it. There is no wind and the current temp is now 14 degrees. It should continue to make ice today.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
