How is the ice on the IGLs


Recommended Posts

There should be plenty of good ice yet for almost another month. Vehicle traffic im not too sure about. I was planning on trying it tomorrow but it's looking more like Saturday through Monday. I haven't been down for almost two weeks but I have been hearing a few good reports. I just have to get out there and try it for myself.

Ice is good for walking. I`m sure some people are driving out but I have my doubts about that. I was out Tuesday and Wednesday and I saw trucks on the ice both days. Not mine tho. Its darn slick so bring cleats. Tuesday, after 3pm when the wind went down and the sun warm, was awesome with the shack flipped back.

I havent been on the ice for about 3 or 4 weeks so I really would like to get out there at least another time or two before the season ends... Maybe I will try talking Moparmarv into going out tomorrow (Saturday). I think that we will probably plan on taking the atv along so we dont have to drive the Ford or Dodge out there... Hopefully we will see you guys out there...

Nope I'm done ice fishing for the year, got late late late X Mas at Dads then its open water time. Muskie tourney's start in a month I gotta get the arm in shape. Saturday may be your best last chance, calling for rain chances starting Sat night thru Tuesday. We had good ice last weekend on the 14th but things change quick this time of year. 70 miles south Storm is almost wide open, I won't be shocked to see a boat on there by weeks end. Mines already been started and will be on the water someplace on the 28th.

Not on Spirit but Storms 80% open. Guys were driving on Spirit yet on 3/14 20" of ice yet,6-8 people out on Minnewasta tonight. Center may be open enough for a boat and thats open to walleye fishing.

Hey Shawn, a guy from our area went fishing out on Minnewasta this morning and said he caught some pretty nice Perch. Started catching blue gill then suddenly the perch moved in. He also said that the ice was maybe only going to last another day or two if the weather stays the way it has been. I have not been able to fish since Feb. 7 and wish I could have at least tried it one more time... Oh well, its time for open water to happen... Winter was long enough.

Maybe we can hook up some time this spring or summer and you can show us a thing or two? I can always use all of the help I can sometimes... LOL.

30 people out on Minnewashta tonight 100 or so were out on Spirit today. Looks like another week to 10 days before Spirit could be open, all depends on if and how much rain we get. What are you planning to chase on Spirit?? Perch or bass?

They were parked along that road that parallels highway 9 and then walked thru someones yard. I was on Minnewashta yesterday and it was super spooky coming off. I certainly hope I was the last person to try that lake icefishing. There was some folks at Emersons too but I didnt try either there or the North End. It was a good season and I was content to wait until next yr rather then risk my life.
