We have been in a pretty cruddy weather pattern for a few days. Lots of rain and cool temps. That has slowed the fishing slightly. The sun is to return tomorrow and and a few days of warmer temps should rebound the fishing. The lake level has dropped slightly but we still have water to […]
The ice has been out for a few days now. The water level is normal to a bit low. The forecast is calling for rain next week so that should keep the flow decent at the ends of the lake. Docks are in and ready for your boats.
A change in wind directions the next two days and much warmer temps starting tomorrow should take out the balance of the ice. We think. Docks in tomorrow if the ice cooperates. The web cam shows mostly open water but there is a big ice flow off to the south southeast. Guys fishing the river […]

Very cool this morning, only about 24 degrees. The good news is that it is 24 above zero not below. The ice is continuing to move away from the shoreline. I took a boat out from the landing last night and tried to break ice. I did not get far until I found at least […]

Fall Lake had the most open water around the edges but was still 80% ice covered. Birch, Vermilion, Burntside, western Basswood including Pipestone and […]
It’s not looking great for the home team. Unless your team is a hockey team looking for ice to skate on. We have one more day today and evening of cold weather and then warmer days do arrive. There probably has been no ice melt the last few days due to cool temps and very […]
