I fish Buffalo for league next week and was wondering what patterns are working this time of year. In the past the lake has had a die off of weeds and finding any standing weeds seemed key. And one year when the water was really high the channel to Deer was killer.

I'll be out tommorow Tuesday as well. It is an all species league but we fish for bass first pike second. Just a heads up, this lake will be highly pressured on Tuesday.

Our league fished it two thursdays ago. 11 boats, 22 guys, from 6-9pm. Six fish weighed in... I think that about sums it up for Buffalo lake. Alot of Dink walleyes (under 12 inches) A couple Dandy pike that bite me and my partner off (while fishing for bass) Best fish of the evening though was a Smallie around 19 inches. Personally... I won't be wasting my time on that lake again until I have to. There are simply much much better lakes in the area in my opinion. smirk.gif

It receives to much pressure for a lake its size. Also doesn't help its inside the city limits.

Yeah, I don't particularily care for this lake either. It does hold some big pike and bass, but it is really hit and miss in my past experiences.

We worked really hard all night for 3 bass. caught a 14 and an 18 on the south side pulling a spinnerbait over the weeds. And another 17 incher on the east side by the sandy cliff.

I thought it would be a good night with the storms???? coming in at 3 pm. Actually though the afternoon clouds looked a lot better than the evening ones.

I didn't get home until around 11 pm and will try to post a picture tonight!

Nice looking fish, they looked paler when we pulled them from the lake but the picture turned out nice.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
