We've been staying at and fishing out of Nodak on the S side of the lake for several years. Great guys, great roads, good info on the fishing.

There are several good resorts in the area (and a few that receive some complaints). I'm sure you'll see their names if you keep watching this forum or go back through the posts from last winter.

do they have a problem with bringing up your own permenant ice house with wheels? I know some of the resorts on Mille Lacs get kinda crabby if you do that.... i am planning on a vactaion with the ice house and since the limie on low changed.. I would like to try winnie for some perch and the eye also if one swims by.... any good spots to go to for a guy that has never fished the lake? How about spots to stay away from?

you could also try high banks resort or the pines resort I know they wouldnt have a problem with you bringing your own house. I would get a map with the gps cords and pick one and go from there fish the edges or on top wherever you find the fish. If no good go to the next

Both Nodaks and Highbanks have a nice access. In my experience, the guys at Nodaks actually know a lot more about the fishing but the guy who runs the place might not be as helpful as he would be if you rented from him. (He actually refused to give me a GPS number once.)

The new owners of Highbanks are very friendly but seem to know alot less about the fishing, although I'm sure they are learning more all the time.

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
