Start of the 09-10 Ice Season
Last year my first day on the ice was November 21st. This year we have a completely different story. Most of the larger deeper lakes are still wide open with a few of the shallow bays starting to skim over. Many of the smaller lakes have finally froze over within the last 2 days. Today I have had about 7 groups in mainly buying walleye minnows for tip up fishing. The reports are about 2 inches of ice on some bays and shallow water areas on the Rainbow and Willow Flowages, and other small lakes like Carroll. By Wednesday I am guessing most of the lakes will be froze up and we should have 4-5 inches of good ice in small bays.
Good Luck & have a SAFE season
