Your call, but with the rain we got on Monday-Tuesday I would be very cautious about try the ice. Most lakes in central MN are completely open or have broken away from shore. Cross Lake isn’t that much further north.
Good luck and be safe!

Hopefully the water will freeze with the colder temps this weekend.
Thanks again for the heads up on the theft. I heard about that a couple weeks ago.

We plan to go out of Chalet Beach. Thanks for the info Cameron and hope for tight lines!

One more question….what size planks would you recommend? 2×10, 2×12? Is 8′ long enough for most cracks? I know the conditions change frequently.

Thanks for the info. We’ll be going out of Chalet Beach access. I heard there was little to no snow, so I’m not to worried about that. More concerned about the heaves and crossing cracks.

I’m hoping to have the same issue….wondering who does great taxidermy work Heading to Winnipeg on 3/18-22! Never been there before and can’t wait to catch my first huge Greenback.

Contact Rogers on Red…they still have openings at their campground…$30/day

Most of the lakes around Alex have 3-5″, but not all lakes are locked up. We’re expecting 2-4″ of snow over the weekend which won’t help much.
