Blue Lake Nashwauk,MN (Another Spring found)

Was cruising the shorelines yesterday looking for new potential fishing holes when I felt the rear tire hit something, which I thought funny because I was driving straight. Hopped out to check on it and there was water. Grabbed a shovel to see if I just popped through some slush and sure enough there was no layer of ice below and as soon as I moved the ice chunks the bubbles were visible coming to the surface.

This spot is on the east shore after ya go through the first "straight". I was hugging the submerged tree line. There is a white and red ice house just before the spot. Most of you who fish the lake wont have to worry about this as most just stick to the main ice roads. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who cruises the shores that there are springs popping up out there this year with this weird weather!

On a side note we measured 20 inches of ice in the first bay on the west side of the lake and about 16 in the community hole in the far back through the last straight.

What's with that lake? I'd be darn careful out there.

My uncle is retired but use to work with DNR in rapids. When i first moved to the iron range he told me that the whole Blue Lake basin has a limestone aquifer under it and is slowly sinking. I know the mines flooded the area back in the '80s I believe, but i have a feeling because of the aquifer there are springs everywhere that just randomly open up. I picked up a GPS yesterday so I think anytime I find one I will get the coordinates to post so others can avoid them!

There is also some springs in the way back of blue lake ( In nashwauk MN) If you go back there you may run into some if you go to the right or the left there is some both directions so I would suggest not going back there or if you do i would check the ice every 25ft or so at least have fun out there

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the safety tip.  Always good to know where springs in lakes are!  👍

      Table is updated below.  Opening day is likely in jeopardy.  Lots of good dates available for those sitting on the sideline.

      That's ok, got the Bear hunting out of my system years ago.  Still have some good spots on the GPS up in the Arrow head!  Did love me some good greasy bear roasts though!  😋

      Yes, I'm on the West End.  No crappies yet, but I caught a couple of Cisco's and some perch this morning. Been dealing with chores at the cabin since 10 AM, so not much fishing.

      Hard to tell exactly how much snow the way the wind was blowing it around, close to that I'll bet!  3 sleds went by earlier. Brian, are you on the west end? Did you fish?  Catch any crappies?

      I was on the lake this morning. There is still a lot of ice. I went down to the housing on my auger a couple of times.  I'm not sure how much snow we got yesterday and last night but it looks like around 7 to 8 inches at least.
