Ice out.

Ice is leaving the lakes around the metro real fast right now. Calhoun and Harriet both had open areas on the north side. Think it was Diamond lake that was completely open. Guessing in the next few days many area lake will be mostly ice free.

I live across the street from Diamond Lake and it went out yesterday. Nokomis has a big area open and the shoreline is open on most of the lake. It’s time!

Here is a picture of Traverse over on the SD border from today.
I was going to go to Chamberlain this weekend but with the forecast for Sunday out there I think I will go to Traverse.
It’s a shallow lake. 14’ max depth. Lots of rock.

I have always wanted to get out there around this time of year. Is there generally a decent bite?

Chamberlain is really fun and really beautiful scenery plus awesome fishing. We usually do a trip every spring.

Meanwhile in northern Minnesota.

I couldn’t tell you. Growing up and in my 20’s Traverse and Big Stone closed and opened the last weekend in April. Now that it’s open year round I haven’t fished it any earlier.
It’s probably been over 20 years since I have fished Traverse.
I will let you know how we do.

At the cabin on Rainy. Just over a foot of snow. It started early this morning and ended this evening. That was at noonish when we left and it kept snowing until 5 ish.

5ft of snow would really be something

Has anyone been to Wisconsin steelheading? I’m guessing the rivers are open, but my buddy that used to clue me in died last year and I don’t have any good contacts I can trust.
