We received 4-5″ of snow overnight, and this morning at daybreak, the wind is starting to switch NW. By 9-10 am, it is going to be blowing enough to where the drifting will start.  If you are out of our place in a rental, permanent, or a wheelhouse customer of ours and want to get in while it’s easy, I would suggest doing it now!  If it becomes a whiteout, which it might, it could be more difficult to get off the lake due to visibility problems and drifting off the main roads.

11:00 a.m.  The winds have picked up some, but there has been minimal drifting. By mid-afternoon, winds will be in the 25mph range, so we’ll see what happens then. It seems like there was a little bit of sleet overnight with the snow, and it is holding back some of the drifting. We have been out and working on the main roads to the halfway point so fishermen can easily get in.

Many mixed reports as fishermen were checking out.   Some slot Walleyes and a few over but none over 26″  many had small Perch and Walleye action and those with cameras were seeing nice size Walleye. But all seemed pretty happy anyways.
