Anybody know how much ice is on Olaf? and any reports of fish?

Posted

I heard Olaf was good a few years ago, but slowed down quite a bit.

I will check on ice conditions andd action.

Posted

East Olaf had ice from 4.5" to 9" last Saturday. Full size trucks were driving 50yds from us all the way to the back of the lake. I pulled my Frabill out there. The 9" ice was not the best ice, the 4.5" ice was good ice. I was off a point, saw lots of fish on vexilar but no takers. Had to be smaller fish.

East Olaf, as in the smaller one? Were there people driving on West too?

Posted

As of last saturday people were parking on the edge of West Olaf and using four wheelers and snowmobiles only, but heading out across the lake.

Posted

Driving on the ice already and full size trucks at that, jeez, unreal, some people have got to be crazy orjust real lazy, or both. So sounds like the fish are comen back on east then eh?

Posted

I can't believe they are driving either. The lake isn't even that big.

Posted

This lake has been so dead, not sure why people waste their time with it anymore when there are so many other good lakes, maybe its just a good party spot.

Posted

During summer I fished it 4 times and caught a total of 5 walleye. Last year was fantastic until ice season started and the masses decended upon it. So sad! That poor lake was not big enough to support the pressure it has received.

i don't know how you con call it a dead sea? last week i caught a 6 and a 9 pound walleye! that is defanitly not a dead sea to me !!

Posted

Are you refering to east or west olaf?

Posted

Is Olaf that lake really that good? I heard talk about it a few years ago and that was it.

Question -- Not trying to make people mad, but is this the type of small lake we should be talking a lot about? I thought we were trying to protect the small lakes from over fishing?

Just a question.

well its over and donw ith now hitman, some people it just takes a little longer to learn. Hopefully it wont get drilled now, but I have my doubts.

Posted

Good question Hitman.

I fish that lake alot and it's just not that good. Unless you enjoy catching sunfish (spotted). If 43 realy did catch the fish he claims to, hopfully he put them back. If a person is looking to target Eyes thee alot better places than Olaf. I go there because I'm freinds with the farmer, it's also fermilier and conveinient, (I have relatives in Pelican Rapids). When I read his post last night the first thing that came to mind was a deluge of people cramped into one area with trucks dropping through the ice and garbage all over. Thanks alot

If you fish east olaf all day, you will catch maybe two walleyes and thats probably about it as far as walleyes are concerned. I tried it twice last year.... caught one the first time and two the second time. For this reason I havn't been back this year and don't plan on trying it either.

GF 11 --

Sounds like it isn't any better than any other lake. I wonder what happens when people put up a post about pig 'eyes? I would guess a lot of people try it and are surprised when they don't catch a pig or a piglet.

Posted

Yeah, I agree that alot of people will be out there trying it and like other people have voiced, its going to be another one of those small lakes that becomes overfished and turns into just another slough.

I can understand the excitement about catching a #9 walleye but if its from a small lake such as east olaf, maybe keep the lake to yourself and go out there and catch another. This is for your own benefit and for the other people who fish it as well.

Posted

You guys will hate me, but I think that a lake like Olaf should stay a little quiet. The same thing happened to Silver -- Then there were 1,000 people out there, now there are two shacks.

People just can't control themselves.

People, use your head. Just because you can take six doesn't mean you have to, and if you are taking out the 21-26 inchers you are killing the 'eye population. Imagine if everybody did it?

Take a pic and putt HER back. She doesn't taste good away.

In the words of Dennis Miller "I'm not trying to get off on a rant here, but people use your heads." cool.gif

Did it ever cross your guy's minds that maybe the guy who made the post was joking?

      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!

      Their dad's got that covered!  👌
    • smurfy
      👍 did you teach them to clean fish!!!!!!!!🤗🤗
    • partyonpine
      Was a great opener caught them 30+ during day. 7-10 feet tonight. Capped the night off with a 28 inch fish.
