Looking at hauling the wheel house up there, is the ice good enough to drive out with house? 1/2 ton with 16.5ft house.

Maybe a better question is, how much ice?

Thanks

Harvey, the ice is not in good shape in the area. There have been vehicles or four-wheelers that have went thru the ice on Minnewaska, Reno, Mina, Mary, Pomme De Terre, and Pelican. That is what I have heard and you know there has been more that have not been reported. The ice has lots of holes in it to drain the water. If we get the snow they are talking about 3- 6 inches on top of this, it may not be good all year. The Douglas County Sheriff's department is advising no vehicle travel and there was a lot of houses that were brought in off the lakes this weekend.

I live in Glenwood, not saying it didn't happen but haven't heard anything about anyone going thru. When and where did this happen? I was on the ice yesterday and sat. Lots of water on ice on sat. most was gone yesterday. let it harden back up with the cold temps and things should be fine. I'd pull it out with a wheeler just to be safe. Measured ice last tues 14.5 where I was.

I would agree with Eyechsr...I have not heard of anything either...not saying that I hear of everything as well. Still a lot of houses there but many came off also as a precaution. I also see some house cranked up out on the ice as a precaution. A freeze would definitely help but have to see how the weather goes.

Fish On!

Any more updates on the ice? Forecast looks like it is pretty good. Are people driving trucks on there yet? Thinking bout heading that way on Friday.

13.5 to 14" in the holes I drilled on Friday. Apparently, there is an open area by the school bar that a pickup drove into sometime over the weekend. Saw it on Pope Co Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

Harv, I hope that was not you with the pickup in the lake by School bar! The ice is not consistent all over, please check before you drive.

saw the sheriffs post on facebook about the truck dropping in. was this a heave that melted? or is this stretch right ontop of the sandbar? I guess I'll have to drive over to a glenwood access to fish my spots instead of going out from the cabin next week.

      This spring I saw a lot of grouse and even a few broods. I'm hopeful for the upland season. Didn't see a whole lot of mallard ducklings this year but good numbers of wood ducks. I think the Canada geese numbers go up every year.

      My uncle and dad said they aren’t seeing any young birds and not many up north. Bummer Hazel is ready and Finn wants some ducks .

      Just got back from my annual 3 day fishing trip to my brother's cabin.  My dad, brother, nephew and I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday fishing 4 lakes.(Evergreen,  Grace, Plantaganet and Cass.)  Caught lots of sunfish, crappie,  perch and a couple walleye.  Perch on Cass were 10-12 inches. Crappie were mostly 10 to 11. Some 12's.  Sunfish ran 8-9 inches.  Walleye was tough but managed a 14, 15 and 17. My brother and nephew did better than my dad and I. They have much better quality rods and could feel the bites much better, plus they used gulp vs our live bait mostly. They did better using 3 inch gulp than smaller ones as well. I'm definitely investing in a new quality rod. Plus I need to get more confidence on plastic.  Overall a very good trip.

      Fall lake has nobody there and yes you have to use portage wheels to get across. At prairie portage you don't cross the border, so you don't have to go through customs. However right next to prairie portage there is a Canadian customs building if you wanted to enter into Canada. I don't know anything about it other than it is there.

      Grouse season is right around the corner, my Italian 20-gauge SxS sidelock is still available for trade. 25" barrels, ejectors, single selective trigger, great early season grouse thumper, and in excellent condition for a fifty-year-old gun.   Jim

      I was thinking of the fall lake portage,  isn't there someone there too?    Or is it just portage wheels to get boat across? And if you go at prairie portage, isn't that a border crossing, so customs and all that?   I love Quetico BTW
