We have a group of guys coming up to the Longville area to fish some of the smaller lakes, I have heard that the ice is sketchy up in that area, just wondering if any one can help us out, can we drive trucks out or should we bring wheelers? thanks for any info.

If it were me I would bring my wheeler and NOT drive my truck on the ice. Just my thoughts as I have fished in that area this winter a few times. Stay safe and fish well.

I was up near that area recently and I did venture on a few lakes with my pickup, but I will comment there is a fair amount of snow and some slush in places. Did find good ice on most lakes but as Mike suggested if you aren't comfortable with running a vehicle  a wheeler would be the best option for sure. If ventureing on some of the smaller backwoods lakes  snowmobiles could be other good options to bring along also.

How did you guys do?  There is a trout lake in that area that I always wanted to hit along with some other small lakes.
My girlfriends parents have a cabin on long and the ice can be sketchy on that lake.

Any reports on how the ice was when you were there?

ZackD,

I was on Woman lake and a small lake in the area last weekend (Feb 27/28).  Measured many spots, Woman had 14" of ice, the small lake had only 11".  I was kind of surprised, there were a lot of full size trucks pulling wheelhouses going out on Woman.....

I was on the ice Saturday, March 5th near Government Point.  There was 15-17 inches of ice there.  But a major warm front has moved in on Sunday and conditions are terrible now.  The southern bay I live on is covered in large patches of standing water, and the forecast is for above freezing temperature for the next 10 days.

Seems dang slow lately. Had to search and skip from spot to spot to get enough sunnies for a small fish fry. Fish we're deeper than normal. After we got a little chop the smallies cooperate little,

      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.
