Ely ice update

Several roads have been plowed on Shagwa Lake and ice is between 10″-22″ across the lake. There are some areas of slush that you shouldn’t have to deal with if you stick to the plowed roads. The walleye and jumbo perch have been hanging in depths between 20-30 feet and are staging up on the flats quite well. Tullibee are much more active this year than I’ve seen in years past, find them in 25-40 feet. Many of the smaller lakes are best for snowmobile, wheeler or foot travel, but luckily they are smaller lakes so distance isn’t too big of a deal. The evening bite has been far superior to the morning bite as of late, but on Shagwa you can catch a nice walleye in the middle of the night or at high noon. Merry Christmas and tight lines!

Good report Ben, I need to get up there again and it will have to be mid to late january after I return from a heat blast in St. John. Ill be ready to hit the ice again after that trip thats for sure. This weekend im gonna hit LOTWs and hopefully have some success, then again, if I dont I can only blame myself on a body of water like that!!
Merry Christmas and take care

Nice report Ben!Keep it up, please

Thanks guys, will be looking forward to fishing first time and again with you both one of these days. I’ll be on the water hard for the next 5 days chasing several different species on up to a dozen lakes to give a more in depth report. Good luck on LOTW Mike.

You better believe you are gonna be hitting it hard! I expect nothing short of perfection out of you. Pretty stoked to get after ’em.

Looked those over. I was set to order but the shipping cost is over the top. Like 8.50 for a 3.00 order. They even generated an email telling me needed to checkout.
