Hard to find a lot of information on this thread. My dad and I will be heading up to PR this weekend to ice fish at our cabin on potato lake for the first time. Just curious on how much ice is on potato and if its safe to drive a f-150. Also, curious to see how the walleye/pan-fish bite has been. Not looking for any spots just seeing how the bite has been as of late. 

 

thanks!

I'd like to give you some info on Potato but haven't been on it this year.

 

Fish hook just to the south has driveable ice even though it is pretty rough after the thaw and all the traffic on it. The bite a couple weekends ago wasn't to bad but not sure what the recent weather has done. I would assume Potato is in pretty similar conditions, the nice part is most of the snow melted so if you watch out for drifts and snow banks you should be able to get pretty much where ever you want.

 

Check with Delaney's or Smokey Hills Outdoor store or whatever bait shop you will be stopping at and they should be able to give you some helpful info.

 

Good luck this weekend

      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. 😉
