Coming up the 26th thru the 29th to do some fishing; 

how much snow in the area?

enough ice for a wheeler and or snowmobile yet?

plan on fishing smaller lakes, spearing.

Any good spearing lakes between Marcell and the Balsam store?

Just got back from there, we fished four lakes and all had 8" of ice. Ran the wheeler everywhere with no problem. Not a lot of snow on the ice with all the wind we had. Fishing was terrible, fished panfish with no luck except for small ones. Don't spear anymore but do fish northerns up there. That area is like most anywhere, lots of small northerns but tough to find lakes with any size to them. I really can't point you in any direction. Good luck!!!

Thanks Merc.

My inlaws place is on Burrows, speared it a few times. No big pike speared but nice size fish for pickling.  Size of the fish isn't as important as the clairity of the water to me, sucks straining your eyes in dirty water. 

Any water or slush on the lakes you were on?

Just back from a lake west of there ... some slush but nothing to worry about. We are expecting some precip up here Sunday ... might be rain, sleet or snow. That could change things ...

So far the lake hopping has been a total bust...Tried moose lake north of rapids and got skunked other than a million tiny perch...tried a crappie lake this morning didn't mark a crappie out of about 50+ holes...Drove an hour north, took the wheeler 7 miles down a trail to find a gate with no trespassing signs...Thought I checked to make sure it was state land around the lake, but evidently I did not...I was excited about that bluegill lake too...Hopefully tomorrow will save the trip...

Well today was better hit one of our bluegill gems we found last year and ended up catching some nice gills...No 10"+ unfortunately though... They were really lethargic, tiny tiny tungsten jig deadsticked with 1 waxy was about all they would hit.

Read a report from a guy who was just up & over on Bowstring. He said that getting very far off the plowed roads was starting to get tough. I'm not sure if they were on wheelers or pickups. We are just west of there & almost all the people I've seen out here are using sleds

I just came back from there today and I don't see anyway four wheelers would go anywhere with the amount of snow out there. We made it with pickups but it is getting a little tough.

The people out on the bay here were all on 4 wheelers yesterday. Each lake is different, evidently. A lot of sleds on the road yesterday, some atv's too.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
