Good Luck to everybody tonight. I've been hearing the ice is 6-7+" out on KR7 and the bite is strong. I suspect many fish will be brought to hand tonight.

[ChrisT]

Brought to hand yes. The size of your hand,,, NO. Good luck! I look forward to the report.

[Tyler Holm]

The results are in for last nights UPLR event.

How was the ice and the fishing overall at Pontoon Slough for the tournement? I've never been to one as I work weekends, but was planning on hitting that one as I had the day off but the starter went out of my truck in the morning. thus I have not made it out ice fishing yet and was wondering how the fishing was? It was good there last year, but alot of little ones.

Tyler,

You have this thing down to the "T", nice going and I hope it grows into one of the biggest Mid-west events for panfish.

The ice is good in pontoon with report of 7+" in most areas. Fish were easy to find and catch, but many smaller fish. Crappies came tough, but a few were caught.

The best thing you can do is send me an email to get on the UPLR email list. I send out about 1 email a week with all the details of each UPLR event. I also post general details here. You can go to any event you wish. It's 100% payback for each event. Basically all you have to do is show up at the designated UPLR event registration location. If you haven't already, please visit the UPLR website (link in my signature) for all the details.

Anybody can enter any of the UPLR events. Mike, owner of Hooked on Fishing Bait and Tackle is running the Saturday morning events, so I'm not exactly sure the boundaries for the finger lakes. You could call or stop by HOF and talk to Mike, or drop me an email and I can get you in contact with him.

[Dale Rueber]

What time is the Finger Lakes event?

Our next event is Monday Jan 7th on Willow Creek 5:30-9:00. Hope to see many of you there. The bite is really hot out there right now.

[Tyler Holm]

**NOTE** The event on Saturday Jan 12 has been moved from Lake City to Lake Zumbro.

Sounds like we are going to have a good turnout for the Willow Creek event this next Monday evening. I've even heard it rumored that a custom ice fishing rod donated by DLF Custom Fishing Rods is available for a random giveaway.

[edgeucator]

are these events open to anyone, if not how do you join?

[crazyice]

These event are open to any and everybody. All ages welcome. Beginner, or advanced, or in-between, or knowledge seekers. There really is no signup, except for showing up at an event. If you like to be added to the UPLR email list, send me a quick email. I send out about 1 UPLR email a week with results, updates, and upcoming event information.

These are just small local events that see anywhere from 10-30 participants. Friendly $10 buy-in, and 100% payback. Even if you don't finish in the money, the information learned from these events is worth the $10. You will get the chance to see and ask what people were using for tackle, bait, etc. You'll see where the winners were fishing, and you might learn what depth was producing, etc. The next time you visit that lake you will be armed with all this information, thus increasing your chances at success.

Anybody have a current ice thickness report for Lake Zumbro near The Ponderosa campground? Cars, 4 Wheelers, or should I bring a life jacket?

Anybody have any good suggestions on where to fish for the Saturday tournament? Is there good fishing near the campground?

[Tyler Holm]

There were several cars, trucks, and 4 wheelers out there on Tuesday morning. The heaviest I saw as a full size Chevy extended cab.

I have not drove my 4 door Dodge Dakota out yet. The ice is around 11" think in the middle of the lake where I fished on Tuesday.

I've heard of people doing OK fishing in the bay(s) just north/west/left of the public Pondy landing. I've never tried it thou.

[Se Mn FishSlayer]

we fished zumbro last weekend and slayed the sunnies. we fished in front of fishermans inn i used a pink jig with a waxy in about 10 feet of water the fish were on the bottom. one of the sunnies i caught was 12oz and a lot of them were right behind that

[Lutefisk82]

How thick was the ice out there? Looking to head out on sunday morning.

[Tyler Holm]

Hope to see many of you out there in the morning. If anybody is interested, meet me at Hooked on Fishing Bait and Tackle Sat morning at 7:00am. From there I'll head to the Ponderosa boat ramp on Lake Zumbro which is where registration takes place.

[Tyler Holm]

We had 31 contenders this past weekend on Lake Zumbro. The results have been posted on the UPLR website.

Our next event is Monday Jan 21 on Chester Woods. Again, please view the UPLR website for additional details.

[Tyler Holm]

Due to schedule conflicts, the Feb. 2nd contest is canceled. Sorry for any inconvenience.
