I was going to try to go tomorrow (walking out in metro) despite the rain which appears to be light and I have a portable. Are you concerned about the ice conditions deteriorating throughout the day?  Or just for the rest of the week?

The lakes took a beating and I was not out on Sunday to see the damage. Saturday I saw the first 4 to 5 inches turn soft. Be careful and check the ice conditions

This year with little ice to start with the whole sheet will go fast.  Had planned on heading out this morning but heavier rain and thunderstorms had me changing my plans.  Guess I'll be heading north next weekend or working on getting the boat ready.

Our ice will last up here, I'll bet anything there will be people driving out there this evening. We had 22" of ice yesterday and we had a ton of snow/slush on top of the ice as of yesterday so I'm assuming it will be draining through today and tomorrow and then a cool down. I'm not putting away my gear yet up here.

Made it out to Upper Prior just as it was starting to rain.  Set up my hub in 9 feet and got out of the rain but nothing moving on flasher or camera.  When the rain let up I drilled a bunch more holes in different depths but couldn't mark anything. Felt like the Dead Sea out there.  Got wet punching holes and no sign of fish so I packed up and left about 12:30 in a steady rain.  

 

Landing was beat up but still has some ice to walk out onas of about 1 pm.  Found ~12" in each hole, some ice better than others but lots of candling.

Been wondering if the wheelhouse will be done for the season already. :(

 

The ice we were on yesterday in the Little Falls area was pretty good but I could hear it melting around us while hole hopping.  That candling is going to be the wild card.  

 

If further north is the answer, well then, so be it.

Seen a post from last night that the front of a truck went thru at the access in Walker, so Poutfest is in doubt.

We had to ride snowmobiles 30 miles out of the Canadian bush Monday and it was a mess. Filled our Otters with water even with covers strapped on.

My buddy and his dad dropped there front end of there pickup in on lake bemidji Saturday luckley they were able to get out with out harm. After all the rain and warm temps hopefully people learn now to stop driving. If you do go out walk not worth the risk. I'm looking at the forcast and after tonight the lows for nights are in the teens so hopefully things may heal up and I can get out a few more times. It's the middle of February I'm not going to be putting things away yet feels like I just got things out!:(

      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. 😉
