Fished the reefs a mile or so out of MyrMar Monday evening thru Wed. night with very disappointing results. Saw about 15 to 20 walleyes on the rock reefs but could not coax a single one. Hundreds of dink perch on the camera, caught a few 9 inchers. All in all, 2 guys fished about 30 hours and managed to haul in 3 perch, 1 pout and no walleyes. Very tough.

Fished near sloppy joes from wednesday at 1 PM til today at 1 PM. We rented a house from Brandts. I was pretty happy with the house and the price. The walleye were there but did not want to bite. We managed to keep one walleye and about 8 perch and released a bunch of perch between 7-9" and to pout. Small shiners were definately the way to go.

We were also on the lake Wednesday and Thursday with poor results. Fished SW side Wed. with only a couple perch, but we had fun landing a monster pike. Thur. we fished for deep jumbos on the east side and landed five, but we really had to work for them. The noisy popping, cracking and groaning ice may have spooked the fish. A large pressure ridge formed against the shore line while we were out forcing us to use a resort bridge. Not one of our better outings, but still great to be on the pond.

I fished the flats Thurday afternoon and evening out of Red Door Resort. I found plenty of good solid ice (18"+) but couldn't find any takers. I fished from about 3 to 7 with one bite!

My dad and I were out from tuesday afternoon thru thursday morning. Fishing was tough though. We started out on the south end on tuesday evening and got skunked. Then on wednesday we headed for the west side of the lake. Went on at terrys and fished on northeast finger of shermans flat. Got 1 16" walleye there during the day and then started moving around. We ended up finding the fish at 4:30p.m. but they were very tough to get to bite. Ended up getting a 24" and a 18" and we lost a few. Lot of fish on the graph but would just come up to the hook and not hit. Got the 24" on a silver buckshot about 5' off the bottom. We were in 22' of water out on a mud flat. Not gonna say which one cuz there was no one else there. Heading back up on tuesday. Maybe they will cooperate a little better this coming week.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
