I don't have first hand experience but I know a couple people who have tried the crappie bite on the Glenwood bar and for them it was poor. Of course others may be doing better. Today a few people were driving light vehicles, I expect more after this cold snap. Walleye for me have been good. 16 ft very few weeds. Most from jigging.

so where you fish is very little weeds.. are you right out side the weed line in 16 feet? you on the gleenwood or starbuck side? i like the preist point area although i have only been out there a couple times.. i just moved to Morris in September. How often you get out there?

Guys, got a quick question for ya. I just would like to know about how many fishhouses are out there now? I mean how crowded is it, or how crowded does it get during the winter?

I have fished it during open water, I don't need any spots, just don't want to pull the house out there if it is always packed.

Thanks

If I had to guess I'd say there can be around 400 houses out there at once, but on a lake that size it' like putting 20 on a small lake? I don't think it's crowed. I guess I don't fish in the middle of a big pack of houses either.

I would say that there is about 100-150 house out there right now and like the last guy said for a lake that size thats not the many houses. there is plenty of untouched ice out tthere if yoyu are looking to get out on a spot by yourself

Are these permanent houses? What size are they? The reason I ask is because I am thinking about taking out my perm. I have a 6.5 x 14, weighs 3,000 lbs. Thanks

There are permanent houses out there now of nearly all sizes (not to mention cars and pick-up trucks out there as well).

Full size trucks on the ice today and about any size house you can imagine. I would not want to guess how many houses are out there but I think 150 would be really conservative.

      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
