[DEADhead]

Jan 10th - Lake Lizzie Roundup - MAP

Hosted by: J.P. Lipton “DEADhead” [email protected], & Peter Prodanov “Fisherdog19” [email protected]

Come join the fun again this year chasing crappies, sunfish, walleye, bass, and northern pike on Lake Lizzie, Saturday January 10, 2009. We will meet at the public access at 0900 am.

Lake Lizzie is located 17 miles south of Detroit Lakes, and 7 miles north of Pelican Rapids. The public access is located one mile east off of US Highway 59, along the west shoreline of the lake. From US Hwy 59, take 460th St east for 1 mile. When you come to the “T” at the end of the road, the public access is located 100 feet to the right of the junction, on 220th Ave. We will wait at the access until 0930 am, and then proceed on to the ice as a group. Latecomers are welcome to meet us out on the ice.

From the MN DNR Lake information report:

Lizzie Lake is a popular angling lake during both the open water and ice fishing seasons. The lake is best known for its excellent bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, and walleye fishing. Data from recent lake surveys indicate these species are abundant and have good size distributions.

Feel free to bring whatever you'd like to eat and drink; food and beverage will not be provided. There will be snowmobiles, and likely ATVs, available to give people rides on and off the ice, if ice/snow conditions do not allow for driving.

This event is open to everyone; bring your wife, children, friends and anyone else you would like. This is a great opportunity to meet and fish with other Fishing Minnesota members and a chance to meet new people and share fishing tips and stories.

Any questions regarding this event should be directed to the GTG thread on the Detroit Lakes & Pelican Rapids Area forum. Check in for more info and last minute details as the event approaches.

We hope to see you there!

What are the current conditions? Is it going to be snowmobile or bust? Please keep posted.

Thanks, ole

After this weekend's snow, it's going to be tough going unless you have a sled. We'll try and get a better assessment on the conditions later this week. Regardless, there will be guys out their with sleds who could tow out a portable and shuttle people out on to the ice if we can't get a road opened up by next weekend.

Thanks D, We'll be up there regardless of conditions. Probably will need a tow and shuttle. We usually go out and left of the access to the deep water.
