Trip Advice

After a couple years of going ice fishing in SD with a neighbor and our 4 sons, we are looking to head to MN for a weekend. Looking for a good area we have a good chance of finding some panfish (prefer perch or crappie) and can DIY it for the most part. Not opposed to paying a guide, but we have all the gear we need and can stay somewhat mobile with a ranger and a couple atvs as long there is not too much snow. Looking for suggestions on where and when to go. Thanks!

Not sure where you are located, but I’d consider theAlexandria orDetroit Lakes area. Lots of lake options out that way. Otherwise a popular option is to try your luck on Red for a few days and there are plenty of lakes just to the south to try out as well.
