I’m south west of Eagle River, you should have no problem, plenty of ice up here. I was scouting out Trout Lake north of Minocqua, and that is ice cover now, and that a big, deep lake. Lots of UTV’s, and 3 wheelers out. Good luck !
That’s great news. Thanks
I’m within 15 miles of Eagle River and fish all around it. Our ice conditions are good, overall and I haven’t seen less than 6″ anywhere in the last week or so. Most lakes holding 8″ of good clear ice with not a lot of variabily. With almost no snow we’re making ice daily and a deep freeze coming for Christmas. Most lakes are now seeing 4-wheeler traffic. You should be golden.
***Disclaimer*** Don’t take my word for it, I can only vouch for what I’ve seen. Channels, narrows always freeze last and least. Large, deep lakes as well. Still use your early precautions-spud bar, picks, etc., ESPECIALLY if yours are the only tracks on that particular ice.
All that aside, we’re shaping up for great ice this year. Good luck!
I live in Eagle River and the lakes are great right now…anywhere from 6-8 inches of good clear ice is to be found…I had heard someone today mention that Trout is still open…im assuming lakes like North twin and Long up near Phelps are sketchy at best in the middle of those lakes..all in all good time to come up test the waters…lots of walleye and crappie happening now
