Drove by Lake Menomin yesterday and the ice is almost gone. Well it will be soon. The ice is breaking away from shore and I saw some whitecaps out on the middle of the lake. Just thought I would throw out the FYI.

Lake Menomin Update, the lake is close to being totally ice free. Just checked it out today. I would say the sometime next week the ice will be gone. But remember that is just a guess.

Steve,
I go to college at Stout and I actually have not yet fished the lake. I keep my boat at home in Northfield, MN during the school year and I am slowly but surely getting an ice fishing rig together but this up and coming year I am going to hit it pretty hard for panfish through the ice.
Hey Brian what exactly is an ice fishing rig? If you want to hit the lake sometime I go out there a lot with the boat and you are welcome to join me sometime. Remember though that when I hit the lake the fish usually stop biting. If you need to know some spots for shore fishing the rivers I can help you out there as well or if you want to float the Red Cedar or Chippewa I have a 12 foot flat bottom that you are welcome to use (it only leaks a little) Steve
Thanks Steve,
I might just have to take you up on that offer. Once I can get all of this dang homework done. Being an upperclassmen at college has it’s postives and negatives. Thanks again for the offers….I will take you up on that sometime!
I thought the only thing that upper classmen got were the babes. What is a icefishing rig that you were talking about in an earlier post. Steve
Steve:
Got a chance to go through Downsville and Menomonie this last weekend. I was even towing the boat. What a drag I couldn’t have dropped her in for a couple of hours, but the little lady was waiting for me to return for Easter celebrations. Stopped in to see my old friend John Widmar at TJ’s Inn in Downsville. I tried to talk him into coming north to Chequamegon a couple of weeks ago, but it just didn’t quite work out. He was cooking lunch and got to talk to him for 10 minutes.
I was on my way back from hunting turkey in the Trempeauleau area. Also got to fish with Fluekiger again. I really seem to bring him bad luck. He has done a great job with the shitty weather that has followed me the last two years. Always great to get to that area, since I am Stout alum also. Good luck with your season this year and it is nice to see someone offer to help people post as you always do!!!

Wish I new you were around, we might have been able to hook up for a skidder burger from TJ’s and a couple of my favorite cold ones. Let me know the next time your going be in the area and if I’m off work we’ll have a couple of cold ones. Thanks for the kind words on helping people out. Anyone out there need a favorite photo scaned and put on the site just hollar. Steve
