Missing Ice House Clear Lake Waseca INFO


Recommended Posts

THis is the information on the fish house that was taken off of Clear Lake in Waseca last week. Any information contact the Waseca County Sheriff's Dept. 507-835-0500 IT was taken after 730 pm on 010505. It is a King Crow model it is a 6' by 12' it is mostly white in color except for two blue trim stripes around the mid section of the ice house. These stripes are about 6inches wide> it had two 20lb tanks mounted on the front side near the tow hitch. There was some rust around the bottom of the frame from banking of snow. There is also a spot of white paint missing from the right fender near the wheel. The inside of the house has 7 holes, brown wood paneling walls and blue carpet. The holes are framed in with a 2by8 and are painted white. The name plate was on the outside wall to the right of the front door and would have read K Bailey. Please contact the Waseca SO attn Inv.

It just makes me sick to know that someone would do something like that. those kind of people need to be locked up forever, because they are worthless to the rest of the world. Sorry if I sound harsh, but that lady spent her own money on that fish house to make someones day better, and those f&*&%#$ had to ruin all the fun for those people. Tim I know that you work for law enforcement, and I hope that you are able to catch those scumballs!!!!!!!!

After reading the article in the Waseca paper, I was pissed. I know of several ELM homes in the area and some of the people who help them operate. I know whoever took the fish house probably isn't smart enough to run a computer and apparently doesn't give a rip about those whose lives he messed with. What if they had a loved one who was living at one of the locations? What the person or persons did who took it stinks. I hope someone reads the fish house description, fingers them and they get caught somehow. Also hope the judge throws the book at them.

Ranger--being that your a police officer by occupation, i have a question, I recendly put insurance on my wheel house ( homemade ) the insurance person wants a idenifaction tag or something like it put somewhere on or in the house so if it's stoled it would be on record for the insurance, where would you suggest to put it? figure i'd engrave it some where on steel or hide a tag somewhere inside-- whats your suggestions, Thank you, you police officer's can't get enought credit!

ELM homes were set up as group homes for mentally handicapped folks to live. Those I know of are in the country. Usually there are some animals for them to care for such as llamas and sheep. The lady who owned the fish house that was stolen frequently took residents of the homes out ice fishing & for pizza parties overnight on the ice.

Haven't heard that anyone has been apprehended in the theft yet.

I would get an engraver from a local pd or sheriff if you dont have one. I would take photos of the house and also of the id number and its location on the house. I would place several on the house incase they find one that one may be left. I would place it out of the way so no easy to be found. I would say outside on the underside of the tongue some place. I would also say inside some place, under a storage cabinet, in a cabinet, under the heater or on the frame inside a hole would all be good places to check. Good Luck

I read in the Waseca paper last nite that the lady who had her fish house stolen has a replacement. Thanks to insurance and donations to help cover her deductible, she was able to replace it and get another one. Not as large as the original, but at least she can still take the ELM home residents out for fishing/pizza parties in a shelter again. A little good news for a change... cool.gif

      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
