While the panfish bite has really picked up from the warmer weather and several smaller lakes, or lakes with current have seen some serious ice deterioration from last week’s warmer temps; there is still plenty of safe ice in the area. The bigger lakes are the safest bets right now for safe travel, many of which are still averaging over 15″ of ice. If you’re going to be out, stay away from the smaller narrows between islands and plan your travel to utilize the larger gaps. Tomorrow we are supposed to get 5-8″ of snow to put some traction and insulation back on top of the ice and the next week’s overnight lows dipping into the low teens will hopefully help our ice stick around until the end of the trout season on March 31. If you still have ice fishing on the brain, Ely has you covered! Here are a few fish from the past weekend!
Ice isn't done yet!
