My buddy says he was warned about having a grill on LOW.

Can anyone say anything about that????

I have a stove/oven in my house, CO's have never said a word, don't know what the difference would be. I don't know for sure, but I thought they made it legal to clean and eat fish on the ice this year.

My only thought would be they are trying to prevent people from dumping the coals on the ice. I've been out there before and seen trash like that...which is disheartening. I haven't heard any new rules about this though.

Been fishing LOW for about 20 years I have never heard anything about not being able to have a grill on the ice.

I've not heard anything ,but he was asking tonight.

I'm looking for laws.He has a gas grill to do steaks.

He was told last year he was asking for trouble by the locals.

Sure they were'nt 'terrorists' posing as locals? !!

Never heard of such and I've been around a while. I think I've even been checked by warden on 16mile while the grill was going once too just a coupla years back!

Half the big perms on the pond are probably equiped with a grill of some type, at least the local huts!!

Going up to LOW for the first time this winter...can anyone confirm if cleaning legal fish and frying them up for a meal one night is legal? thanks!

O.K. I guess I jumped the gun. I just talked to the DNR and they said it was legal to clean and eat fish on a lake that has no slot limit. So L.O.W. is not legal yet. The lady I talked to said that this was going to change, but she did not know exactly when. She said there would be a bullitin put out when this happens, so hopefully it will happen yet this season. Sorry for getting your hopes up, I know mine were. We always spend at least 2 days sometimes 3 in my sleeper, it sure would be nice to eat a days catch while we are there.

I just finished listening to Curts radio program and the CO that he had as a guest definitley said YOU CAN clean and eat walleys as well as sauger on LOW. They are looking for the remains to be kept intact however for measurement purposes. LOW has a slot limit and this practice is now legal. Good luck and hang on. Bill

OK. The CO on the show had been to the seminar on the

new rules and regs for this season. If they are not

in effect yet, they will be soon. Sorry for any confusion

but nobody is out in sleeper houses yet. It is set to

start by the time we need it.

      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
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
