Part fishing report, part ice report this time of year.  The boats fishing are doing very well with good numbers of walleyes in 10-20' of water,  Launching at Wheeler's Point and fishing in front of Pine Island. The big water (Big Traverse Bay) is still open.  Thin ice on the small bays.  Zippel Bay reporting 5-6 inches of ice.  Bostic Bay and Baudette Bay all reporting 1-3 inches.  The forecast shows colder temps come the weekend.

 
On the Rainy River, bays are getting locked up with open water on the river.  A few anglers on the river with anglers catching nice walleyes evenings.  The open water bite has been good this past week.
 

Up at the NW Angle, ice is 2-5 inches thick. Some air boats running to islands so far.  It won't be long, but safety first. When the time comes, work through resorts for safety.  Thank you to all who stopped by and said hello at the St. Paul Ice Fishing Show.  Come on Ice!

      Back in the 70s when a bunch of us early teenagers would go to the SportShow, we figured out the flies never got down to the trout with all the moving water. A little split shot solved that problem. 😆

      Nice looking pictures. Makes me want to jump on the snowmobile.

      Friday was a beautiful day on Vermilion.  The fresh snow and high winds made pretty drifts on the lake, as long as you weren't trying to travel off plowed roads.  Watched a large 4x4 truck travel off road and it hit some very large drifts, but didn't get stuck.  Not too many houses were left but many new ones were being pulled out onto the lake for the weekend.  Was a nice view at dark seeing all the lights on the lake.   Fishing was average.  I had to shovel snow off of our mobile home roof so I didn't get out until 10am.  Was a decent bite at 11am, and then from 330-415pm, but other than that it was very quiet for me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food finally had shiners so I tried those and caught most of my fish on them.   Good luck fishing, be very courteous if you use plowed roads, and be careful if you travel off road.

      We went from no snow to enough quickly. I will have to go check out the lakes with updates on which ones have plowed roads around. Be safe and bring a shovel.

      Last Friday, it was still pretty busy for a week day.   I've gotten a few out of there over the years.

      When did you go out there leech.  I drove by there 2 weeks ago and it was packed and heard they were snapping.    Not much for trout as an eater fish

      I did actually spend a day over on Big Watab giving it a shot for Rainbows.  Tried about 5 different spots, saw one rainbow and one pike come through.  Had two Wardens roll in and check my license, he said hardly anyone was getting anything.  That seems to be the way that lake is, either on or off!  He did ask me where I was from I said Sartell, he said oh your license says Brooklyn Center? I said oh we moved there about a year ago, my wife must not have reminded me to change it?  He laughed, I laughed. 😄 He said make sure you change it when you renew it this time!  🤨  🤭
