LOTW Report 12/11/2011

[Border View Lodge]

 



The ice fishing season is finally here! Early reports have been excellent.  We’ve been fishing in 18 to 23 feet on the south shore.  Lots of 14 to 19 inch walleyes are biting in the morning and late afternoon.  Slot fish are being caught as well, with most in the 23 to 26 inch range.  Saugers are available midday with nice ones mixed in with the smaller ones.  While fish seem to be sticking to the bottom, the occasional fish will be suspended.  If you’re staying with us, we do have vexilars for rent @ $25 per day.

We currently have 10 inches of solid ice where we fish, but there are a few trouble spots around the lake.  We encourage you to check ice conditions in your area before you head out and stay on designated or marked trails.

The weather will be a bit warmer this week with highs in the 20s and low 30s.  It’s still cold enough and should continue to make ice.  Snow is in the forecast for later on in the week.

We still have some openings this week if you want to get some early ice walleyes.  We also have availability the week prior to Christmas.  Book now and take advantage of some great ice fishing!

Fish ON!
