   Lake Superior has a good foot of ice out in front of the French, so that’s been the hot thing going right now.  People are catching cohos and loopers and lakers out in about 120 feet of water.  Inland, crappies are biting on Boulder Lake, and perch are going on Pike Lake in 6 to 8 feet of water.  Walleyes are being found down by Barkers Island area, they are coming in off the lake and staging.  The northern action on Grand Lake has been really good.
