Anyone know of the ice thickness of Tetonka? I want to try and get out there this weekend!

Posted

Whats tetonka like durring the winter, never been there durring the winter. I know like 8 years back when i was last there the walleyes were ferocious. Hit my limit from the dock but threw em back. Is the lake still as green as i remember or does it turn over well enough to where you can see the bottom of the whole??

I was out today, you can look down the hole and see your jig in 18' of water, very clear. the bad part was the 4" of water on top of the ice. Did have some nice perch, they bite very soft.

Any recent news on Tetonka? I might check this one out next week. I like Sakatah but so far Sakatah been slower than usual. How bout Sabre? Anything going on out there?

I fish Gorman and Sabre alot, but not on Tetonka since I was a kid. Where's a good spot for perch and other panfish out there? Looking at the map it appears there is some good structure.

I have never fished tetonka in the winter. There is alot of good structure in that lake. Just wondering on the winter bite and is the ice good on that lake(is the places to worry about springs, the cannon river?) Planning on getting out there this weekend.

Was out on Tetonka the last 2 nights by Best Point. Got 2 walleyes, 15 1/2" and a 12", between 4:45 and 4:55 in 30 FOW on Tuesday, and only some small perch and a snake last night. Everywhere I drilled there was plenty of ice for an atv/snowmobile...about 6" of clear ice and 2" of white ice. Two atv's out there when I was there. Never caught nor tried for any sunnies out there, but did real good last year staight across from the boat landing in 30 FOW for perch. Hear they catch quite a few down by the beach (east end) as well. Only people I've seen out there so far have been by Best Point.

Have you ever tried either of the sunken islands? Im going out in search of the eyes!!

If you're talking about the humps on the north side, mid lake from east to west, nope...never tried them. Was out on Sakatah yesterday afternoon...couple of decent perch. Maybe 4 inches of ice were I was. Lots of small northerns on the camera.

      Upper Red’s been doing what she does—giving up fish if we’re out there early and paying attention.   Walleye bite’s solid in 6 to 9 feet, especially just off the breaks. Pre-dawn into first light is where it’s at. Shiners on a slow drift—still the ticket.   Later in the day, it slows down, but if we move around and work those inside turns or subtle drops, we can still find fish.   It’s not complicated—just good spring fishing. Clean air, steady water, and enough bites to make it worth the drive.

      Leech made you earn it this week. Wind moved through most days, shifting the bait. Walleyes were spotty, but a few were pulled around Sand Point and Goose Island with slow jigs and shiners—nothing fancy, just working the spots slow.   Crappies gave a nice surprise one calm evening in the flooded reeds—5 to 8 feet, little pink jig under a slip bobber. When they showed up, it was fast and fun for about a half hour.   The trick right now? Stay patient and don’t overthink it. Leech’ll give up fish, just not to folks in a rush.

      Mille Lacs was steady—not fast, but steady. Walleyes are hitting in 6 to 12 feet, especially on gravel edges with a bit of weed growth. A plain red hook and leech is still the go-to—keeps things simple and productive.   Best bite’s been early morning or just before dusk. Cloud cover helps. Smallmouth are starting to show on rock piles and wind-blown points, but they’re not fired up yet. A few more warm days, and they’ll be on.   Overall? Not a lights-out bite, but a good, honest day if we put the time in.

      Greetings,   My buddy and I are headed to the Big V in early June. We've been up there the last two years around the same time. The one fish that eludes us is, surpringly, bluegill.   Here in my home state of Nebraska, if I throw a beetle spin into any sort of structure from spring to fall, I'm guaranteed to catch decent sized bluegill and the occasional crappie. When we're at vermilion, however, we only catch bass and a rare perch on the beetle spins.   Can anyone help me understand why this is? We've tried every shallow structure we can find but we've never caught a single blue. This type of lake is entirely different to what we normally fish (and way colder) so I'm completely unfamiliar with their habits.   I would also love to know where the crappie are during this time of year. We mostly target bass and walleye, but, we'd love to have some ultralight fun with panfish.   Thanks!
