The lake is a long way from freezing!

There's still lot's of time to go water fishing

[Dr. Bob]

Have you been out? <P>It would be nice to hear a report. How is the river? Are the ramps good (not ice covered)?

[Opie]

Yeah, let us know on the river and ramp conditions. I am finally getting to come up this week (thursday - saturday) and am really looking forward to some fishing. Is the bite in the river or still out past pine island?<P>Dean Thorn

[JZ]

Haven't been out but i plan to! Soon!! I would guess the bite is very close to the river or in it! Also after a few days of warmer weather like they are saying should help the ramps.

Hey Guys; I would certainly call first.. I talked to Brian Ney from Adrian's on Saturday and he said the river froze over Friday night and and he thought that 4 mile bay also was frozen.. He also said that he chopped a hole and it made 1 1/2 inches in one night, it was -15 at Wheelers. Now with the warmer temps, it may reopen, but call first!!...Kaz

Yep, you folks contemplating the boat fishing better call. I took a putz around the south shore from Warroad over to Wheelers yesterday. River at the KOA and Wheelers access' were covered in ice. Looking out onto 4mile from Wigwam the bay looked to be iced up all the way with maybe a patch of openwater near where the green can sits. As Widetrack mentioned the Warroad river is ice out onto the lake maybe a 1/4 mile. From the top of the ob. tower at the Warroad access it looked like ice from the access area all the way up to springsteel.<P>I took some pics and if I can figure how to post them here I will. Don't hold your breath as I'm basically computer illiterate!<P>Regards....Fisky

Fisky, any info on thickness of the ice you saw? Is there a chance that will diminish in the next couple days with warm and wind. What I wouldn't give to get out there one more time....Any ice updates on the angle? Other than the webcam?<P>------------------<BR>Hemlock<BR>"Throw'm back"

[fiskyknut]

I put my full weight [girthy!] on the ice by the Wheelers ramp and it did'nt crackle! Maybe 2 inches or so? Looked like it would be hard on a boat to bust it up anyways. Hard to say what'll happen to it, the overnite lows are still looking to be under the freeze mark thru the week anyways. I'm ready for some icefishing myself!<P>fiskyknut
