Access Points?

[Philo]

I am kind of new to the area and was wondering where some good access point are for ice fishing on the back waters of the st. croix. I will be coming from the metro area so I am wondering about the stillwater area. Any ice updates would be appreciated as well.

If you are new to the area I dont know if you want to explore much around stillwater or north.The ice has a mind of its own up there and you need someone with.I would stay further south on better ice for now.There is around 6 inches in bayport and you will be able to see where to go.There are people who fish up further north but Im not sure where they access.

Philo, welcome to the St. Croix.It's been kind of slow so far this year but it should pick up.It's a neat fishery.Never know what you'll catch.As far as access goes,like JJB said,Bayport is one spot to get on.I get on in North Hudson.The landing is west of the gas station(Marathon?),used to be a Tom Thumb,on highway 35.Head towards the river until you hit Galahad road.Hang a right and it will take you right down there.Either place you get on,you'll see the crowds and get a general idea of where to go.Be careful and Good Luck Fishing!!!
