    Hey guys!
    My wifes friends want to ice fish this weekend and live in Eau Claire area. Not super picky, but wouldn’t mind targeting perch, walleye, pike (will be a decent size group so could set up tipups in a variety of places). Just want to get them on some fish and show them a decent ice fishing experience.

    Thoughts on what lake to check out? We wouldn’t want to drive super far from Eau Claire, but could drive a little ways if a lake is worth it. Every lake I know around there (Wissota, Altoona, Menomin) I’ve heard neutral to negative things about. Maybe Chetek?

    I think you either have to head North up to the Chetek area (as a starting point), or down to the Mississippi and surrounding backwaters.

    I would probably opt for some different activity all together if I had to ice fish somewhere in the immediate Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, or Menomonie area.
