Ice Report St. Croix River MN/WI

Hello, new to this forum, was hoping someone out there who has experience ice fishing the St. Croix between Bayport MN and Hudson WI would be able to provide a rough ice report in terms of ice conditions, amount of foot traffic seen, numbers of people. JUst looking to get a sense of how safe the ice is out there currently with the potential snow coming up this weekend. Was thinking of making the drive (about an hour) over, but not if its already sketchy.

Thank you all in advance!

Check out the St. Croix forum, it’s under the Wisconsin section.

To answer your question, it’s been pretty busy out there, and a few trucks have started to make it out. I would be cautious though, as the thickness isn’t very consistent yet. I was out a week ago and found 9″ out from the park in Bayport. I won’t be driving out there until after the colder weather moves through.

I was out last weekend and lots of people out there. As said above the ice is very inconsistent. As for the bite it was very tough. Marked lots of fish and only could get a few small walleyes to bite.
