White Bear Lake

I’ve fished White Bear in the summers and I’ve caught large and smallmouth bass, pike, and even a muskie. I know there are walleye in there, where are they? I’ve given them a shot through the ice, on that big underwater ridge south of the peninsula on the Mahtomedi side…all I see on my camera are little perch. I’m pretty new to icefishing walleyes, anybody have any suggestions? White Bear may not be the best walleye lake but its close to home. Thanks in advance, everyone. Starting in March its back to Pool 4.

Check the dnr web site for the lake map. Find the weedlines on inside turns. Find the flats or bars. Bellarie bar is good spot to try. Look on the dnr site to find them. You will see shallow flats to quick drops offs. Most times right around the edges of the flats are pretty good. Hope this helps start drilling hole and find the success.
