I am heading to the Alexandria area next Saturday for a day-long ice fishing excursion with 4 guys (2 very experienced fishermen and 2 beginners).  I am capable of doing my homework to locate and try out specific spots on lakes, but am looking for suggestions on good all-round, multi-species lakes.  We're just looking for the chance to catch fish throughout the day, and are planning to stay through the evening to have a chance to catch some walleyes or crappies.

 

It has been at least 20 years since I have fished the area, so I am asking if anyone is willing to give me a list of 2 or 3 lakes that they would go to if they were in my position.  Any other advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

You posted this on Friday so I don't know if by "next Saturday" you meant the 14th or this coming Saturday the 21st. 

 

Osakis might be worth a look. Perhaps the Alex chain (Victoria, Geneva, LeHomme Dieu, Carlos, Darling.

Hey Bob,

 

We are coming up this weekend, fishing for the entire day on Saturday the 21st.  Osakis has been on my radar as have a few of the chain lakes, however with it being so long since I have fished in the area, I just wanted to see if there were any other suggestions for a decent multi-species lake or at least one with a chance for having a respectable crappie - walleye combo.

 

We also have been looking into Mary, Ida, Irene and Oscar.

"Lake Christina ! haha just kidding"

On a serious not

If you go up a little further 94 by Dalton I suggest you look at clear lake or eagle lake

 

 

There also is pomme de terre and pelican

Some of the bigger lakes to consider is Ida and Miltona

 

I will pm you a smaller lake I do not care to name in public as well

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
