Game on this week as resorts are open, fish houses are out and fishing is great. 4 Mile bay has about 14 inches of ice, the lake has 13-16 off Pine Island to the ice houses. Best fishing in 25-28 feet. Lots of action with consistent limits. Anglers weeding through small fish for keepers. Moving west towards Zippel Bay and Long Point there is 14-19 inches. 22-24 feet saugers and walleyes filling limits with larger walleyes in 26 feet. Reports of a great shallow bite in 14 feet after 4 pm evenings. Bright colors, green, pink, or glow working best with live minnow or frozen shiner heads. Some resorts allowing small vehicles on ice.

On the Rainy River, where anglers are fishing there is 10-13 inches of ice. Ice depths vary, know where you are going, use resort trails. Mornings and evenings more active in 14-17 feet. Use active presentation for best results. Glow, gold, and bright colors best with live or frozen shiners.

Up at the NW Angle, 12-14 inches of ice off Young's Bay and Angle Inlet. Up to 10 inches near islands. Many resorts have fish houses out and are catching fish. Use marked resort trails as pressure ridges popped up this week.

Bonus: Lake of the Woods Ice fishing Video...

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
