If anyone has an Ice out trip booked, you might want to see if you can move up your dates with the ice looking like it will be a record ice out. If you have thought about an ice out trip before, but have never done it – now is the time. We are going to be ice free for approx. 5 weeks before walleye season open up here. That means great spring trout and shallow water pike fishing.
Here are a few of the Lake Trout Lakes in my area that will be going out well ahead of there normal ice out dates.
Lower Manitou Lake
Pipestone Lake
Crow Lake
Trout Lake (N. of Rainy)
Dogfly Lake
Plus many more.
