Ice Predictions

Just as crazy as your cousin I was fishing with from Lakefield Clint. You know you cant beat him on the ice.

Yea I thought it was funny that i have the same pic on my phone.

Could a guy get out on Okabena, or better yet ocheda this weekend. I think Ocheda would be a great early ice spot with tipups for pike. It woulnd't be very deep and tip-ups a little ways from shore would be perfect with early ice.

skip ocheda....head to lake bella if you want pike...might even hit a couple croppies or a walleye here or there

I've often looked and thought about Bella, but have never met or talked to anyone who fished it. Is it worth a hoot?

I've only ice fished it a couple times....during the summer there are some good sized fish in there...just a matter of finding em...if you launch from the park on the south side we would always find fish straight out just north of the spillway....otherwise if you go north a little farther theres a shallow point where the fish like to hang out

I noticed on wood lake today there was still some geese that had a open spot

[mr_jman]

I thought they were East Twin & West Twin.

Yeah, I believe you are correct!

Lime and Okabena are the same. Lots of geese out there keeping a spot open. Be careful around the goose holes.

Also with geese holes.. Talcot and Bean

[Agronomist_at_IA]

What's the ice like on the lakes, is there still a good 4+ inches on them besides the geese holes?

[muc33]

There was on Sunday. I was on Big Spirit which was less, but Graham and Round in SW Mn both had right about 4 inches.

[MN Shutterbug]

What's with them crazy geese anyway? Do they need someone to tell them when to head south?

[mr_jman]

I've heard of up to 6" on some lakes already.... Couple lakes I checked were a good 4 or 5" but I didnt venture out too far yet. I'll be punching holes in a few days!

[tjbassmaster]

About 5" on St.James right of dike. There are two spots on the lake that the geese are keeping open. Didn't fish so don't have a report there. I will be heading out tommorrow to either kansas or hanska and will report on the ice conditions there.

[tjbassmaster]

Was out on kansas thursday had 6" of ice. Fishing was only okay.

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

anybody know how much ice is already on lady slipper, will be heading out there in a couple weeks

[jake125]

Lots of northerns, perch, some crappies and smaller walleyes. Had 7 inches out there yesterday and fishing was slow only one northern.

Was out this morning on st. james and had 7 inches there too.

[tjbassmaster]
