    If you had your choice of lake for a 2 night 3 day ice fishing trip which lake would you pick within 50 miles of Grand Rapids (i.e. best chance to hook up with some fish with a modest set of fishing skills)?

    Fishing mainly for walleye or perch but anything biting is a plus.

    I am entertaining and want to start with the best foot forward.

    Thanks

    50 miles of Rapids gives you lots of lake options. I would say Winnie would be your best bet for multi species. Walleye, Perch, Pike, Tullipee.

    I’d second that, and tell you to consider Upper Red. Lots of willing walleyes up there, but a little far, and not as well known for its other species.
