Lake Elysian Fishing Reports

[Boker001]

I went to Elysian with my boat last week. Fished almost the whole lakeshore with floating raps and never had a bite. Didn't see anyone catch one on shore with live bait.

I was close enough to cast to shore was that to close?

I thought all the walleyes in that lake went over the dam?

Went to the MN River on the edge of St. Peter. Got one 14 inch sauger in about 2 hours yesterday afternoon. Didnt end up trekking over to Elysian. Just not enough time.

ok well any idea how much ice?

[HaRdWaTeR jUnKy]

i heard earliar any where from 5"-9"

[Team Otter]

Yes, 5 - 9" is accurate in most places but there is still some 2 - 4" stuff out there.

[Sassyshad]

Anyone been catching anything out there yet? And are most people straight out of the landing just east of town?

[Reid G]

Yes, 5 - 9" is accurate in most places but there is still some 2 - 4" stuff out there.

2" still? I would sure think that after the past couple nights, there wouldn't be much <4" stuff out there. Maybe I'm wrong.

I haven't been on Elysian but on some other area lakes I've found some huge varience in ice, not sure if it was from the strong winds/snow cover or current/springs. One lake had up to 18" of frozen slush with only a few inches of ice and a few yards away there was 10" of good ice, as well as a spot with only 4".

It's still early ice and by no means stable.

sassyshad...i like the name! i guess the eyes are biting pretty good on the north end as of a few nights ago.

[local laker]

We found 9" under the snow & 12" on the bare ice!Nice to be out on the ice & not have to worry to mutch about it.

[mudtracker]

got skunked on n end on thursday evening, about 10 inches of ice where we were.

[scott christle]

hows riase lake i fished it years ago and did good thanks for any input

[wall_hanger_fishing]

Has anyone one been out there how is the travel pretty easy going are there roads plowed or is the snow pretty passable. A guy I work with said one of his friends has a house out there and they have been getting a few eyes just wondering if anyone has been out there and how they did. I myself have never fished and was just looking for a little info on were to go or to start.

[mooneyes]

[Crestliner-fever]

[love2fish4ever]

I heard (through the grapevine) that the O2 was tested recently and it was down to 3.2 ppm. Last week it was at 6. Dropping fast!

[spearchucker]

That must be on the end opposite the aeration system.

[KTapper]

That must be on the end opposite the aeration system.

There is one on each side. I wonder who took those readings? Can anyone confirm any of this?

[zepman]

What's new...it does this every other year.
