Pleasant Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Just got back from spending the weekend in Ottertail CountyObserved 4 to 6 inches of clear good ice on all lakes I ventured out on.Some do have pressure cracks and ridges that are open so be careful out there.

KMR85 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 anyone know about long lake in New Brighton. It was iced over last week, just wondering if anyone has a thickness to report. I will be able to check it tonight or tomorrow afternoon if no one has a report already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cRaPpiEMaN8265 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was wondering about Long Lake as well.. I drive by it twice a day since I go to MVHS.. I would like to try that lake this year but have no idea how to fish it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLIFIED Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 KMR, maybe I'll take a drive and meet you there tonight. I was going to check the ice tonight too. Hit me up - [email protected]-Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMR85 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Phil, email sent. Tonight is hard to nail down a time due to a meeting I have at work. I am new to the area and have never fished Long, Johanna, Turtle, or Owasso. I plan on trying these alot since I live in the area. If the ice is thick enough to fish, I may be out on one of these lakes tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cRaPpiEMaN8265 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Turtle has 4" out to the rock bar but then after that there is a heave and it drops to 2"..I would give it a few more days out there.Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro80 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I took a trip to Lake Peltier in centerville and it seems there is 4 solid inches.

bgreen82 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 battle creek is fishable, just be sure youre walking out from the launch, not the pier as there is still unstable ice. i walked out on tanners from the dennys parking lot and even right from shore the ice didnt look ready, with water punching through as i stepped.

Can you be a little more specific? read back a page and you will see it is long lake in new brighton. I didn't go too far out, so don't think that it is 4" over the entire lake.
