Looking for some productive flats on the west side to try with my daughter this weekend.

Thanks!

Here is an old post that tells a bit about the flats from an ice fishing perspective. For walleyes troll the edges paying special attention to funnel areas and sharp points.

 

For perch and smaller eyes don't be afraid to run spinners across the top. Be careful that you don't drag your weight in the mud.

      Used the last two days in the 30's to pull a few in up in the Longville area at a buddies cabin. Biggest was 13"  Time to eat crappie chips and stay warm for the next 3 days.  -23 below up here Monday night!  🥶

      Lots of snow is drifting up around all of the fish houses.  Plus the weight of heavy wheel houses and large trucks parked by them all add up.  1½ inches of water coming onto the ice isn't very bad.  One year I had over 5 inches come up to the bottom of my fish house floor.  Lucky it didn't freeze in that year.

      The fish are growing faster than expected, taking up more space 🤪

      why would the water be coming up above the ice with little to no snow weight????

      9 days since my last trip to Vermilion (took a side trip into the BWCAW).  Had 22 inches of ice so we added 4 more in 9 days.  Water came up on the ice about 1½ inches so I had to block the house up.  Travel on the lake was very good, even with my front wheel drive car.  There are two main roads leaving McKinley Park landing; one on either side of the staked snowmobile trail.  Either of those roads would provide good access to fishing spots, but please stay away from the snowmobile trail and pull quite a way off the plowed road to avoid flooding the road.   Fishing was decent for mid January.  Best bites for me were 9:00-11:20 and 3:45-4:45.  All of my walleyes were 11-14 inches.  I lost one about 16 inches lifting it out of the hole.  Dang.  Vermilion Fuel and Food didn't have rainbow chubs so I stuck with lively chubs.  Didn't even try a single pike sucker that I had left from lake trout fishing.  Maybe next trip up.  The bonus today was a beautiful sunset.   Good luck fishing and be prepared for the cold weather this weekend.
