I've never fished this lake before, and with all the rain, I've pretty much ruled out going to rivers or trout streams tomorrow. I have to do some quick work on my trailer, and this lake is fairly close, just wondering if anyone has any past experiences on this lake for pike/bass fishing?

Lake Elmo is very clear and deep.  It takes a while for it to warm up in the spring.  I've only fished it during the summer months though.  During bright sunny days I've always struggled to find fish consistently. I've found bass pretty deep like 25' and deeper during the day.  Low light days and early morning/ evenings seem to bring the fish in shallower.  There's plenty of fish in there, you just have to find 'em...:confused:  Good luck and let us know how you do!

Well, didn't go there today. The work on my trailer took way longer than expected. Which was ok, because the weather was so bad, I wouldn't have gone out anyway. So it doesn't feel like a wasted day :grin:

      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. 😉

      Haven't owned a hand auger in ages. Three feet of ice, couldn't imagine hand drilling a bunch of holes. I have an old gas auger you can use, if you can get it going 😀.
