Can anybody up there post if the is ice on the lake yet. Also does any resorts up there have a live camera?

Posted

As far as I know there are no cameras yet but I was working on the access just this morning and the lake was just starting to freeze here. With the cold weather that is headed our way it will not be long.

Thought about heading up there in a month. Will I need an auger extension?

It all depends just how far above the ice you start drilling...

lets hope the freeze up waits just a littlw while, with the snow forecast none of those people need a replay of last year

Posted

Yeah, last year was nasty. Let's hope we avoid a repeat.

The temps coming in behind this storm sure are looking good for ice making, though. smile

I believe there's a site sponsored list of webcams,just do a search in the left margin.I would think JAR would know about URL but maybe some in the area.

I believe Chris the new owner of ROGER'S is working on installing a web cam.

Stay tuned.

I wouldn't bring it- just THINK about how much room it would take up in your truck

Was that guy serious, ice yet? Really man?

I was starting to get a little nervous! Some buddies and I have sleeper house booked through Bear Paw the weekend of Dec 18th and i was beginning to worry there wouldn't be enough driveable ice by then. Its still a ways away so i'm hoping the cold temps coming up will get the job done!

Ice yet...no wink Extension yet...no wink The 18th....your'e good wink

The last five years we have had out our wheel houses by December 12 on twelve inches of ice so I would not be getting to nervous if you had reservations December 18th. Good luck fishing

      I moved the clips on the jet needles up to the top groove to lean it out.  This eliminated the mid-range bog and the sled accelerates well even when warm.  The plugs are not quite dark now, but look good.  I'll have to rebuild the Mikuni carbs this summer for the permanent solution.  I'll also repair or replace the primary clutch to eliminate that issue.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.

      No.  I tried posting a 15 second video a while back in the accepted MP4 format and it wouldn’t play.  It sucks.

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place by some hardcore ice anglers, but most have called it a good year.  For those still getting out on the ice, fishing has been good.  Most resort ice accesses have been closed for the year.  Safety first always.   Ditches are running along the south end of the lake which means water is running into the bays.  Moving water will soon pop open the bays and anglers will be out open water targeting huge pike while they head to spawning areas.  Pike fishing is year round on Lake of the Woods and can be excellent during the spring in back bays. On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing began over a week ago and has started out very good with some big walleyes being caught and released!     As of April 8th, the Rainy River is open to the west of Baudette and gaining every day.  With warm temps in the weekly forecast, not only will the ice deteriorate quickly, but the walleye bite should get even better.  Weather forecast in the next week shows 60's.   There are three boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) and the Vidas boat ramp just east of Clementson and the Rapid River.     Most walleye anglers are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  Some are slowly drifting a jig with a minnow such as emerald shiners, fatheads or rainbows.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  A sturgeon rig is about an18 inch leader with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers and emerald shiners.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.  There are many areas showing open water primarily where there is current.  Progress to open water is being made.   The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.

      If you stop by Kramer lake on 38 north of Rapids someone made a chair out of a hospital commode and a lunch tray. Been there for 20 years.
