On Friday, the fishermen who went out seemed to have pretty good action with the Walleye. The greater majority of those caught and released were 7″-10″. I heard of a few slots caught, but not many. Fishermen were also reporting 15-30 Walleye per angler and many small Perch in the mix.

We staked out what will be roads out to the Banana Reef and NW of North Twin Island to the Tundra. I pulled out two basic rentals with the Jeep yesterday, one on the NW side of Pope’s and the other near Spider-Island. Both are on 11″ of ice, and anyone who wants to rent them will need an ATV to get to them. Most of the ice on the main lake is 9″-11″ thick, with the thicker ice within the first 200 yards from shore.

It will be a while before we pull permanents and larger rentals and allow wheelhouse traffic. Things will start happening once we start seeing a consistent 14″ inches of ice.  Keep watching my report.

Keep a Tight Line!
