I just spoke with Brad a few minutes ago, here is the latest up to date report. This report can also be seen on the MNO fishing reports page.  MNO Fishing Reports

Ice conditions in the channels and bays are around  6 to 8 inches of ice, the main lakes are around 3 to 5 inches. South Center is great for Walleye and Crappies in the morning and evening hours, the better spots have been hazelton Bay and Pancake Island. Sunfish can be found during daylight hours. North Center below Blue Water is a good spot for Sunfish during the day. South Lindstrom below the Dinner Bell is producing Crappies and Walleye in the mornings and evenings. For Chisago lake, try the Eagles Nest or the A frame for Crappies, sunfish are being caught on Cty road 83 on Chisago. The South end of Green lake has been good for panfish. Sunrise Lake has been a good spot for Pike, Crappies and Sunfish. Keep in mind that Chisago and South Lindstrom are catch and release only for all Bass.

Just got off of South Lindstrom.  I was set up in 12 feet of water next to the Dinnerbell.  Caught a handful of small perch and that's about it.  The ice was about 8" thick were i was and people were out on wheelers.  Saw quite a few fish on the camera and managed to hook into a nice log.  For a second thought I had hooked into a nice one until I saw a log moving on the camera.  Oh well maybe next time.

I was on Chisago on Saturday and I caught sunfish until my arm fell off. Plenty of action with a few for the fry pan, but you have to work through them. Flags were few and far between and they were all bass. Not sure what happened to the pike.

19" Bass on a tip-up.


18" Bass on panfish jig.

South end of Chisago off CR 83. I'm not sure what the ice is like on the rest of the lake but there was 10, 12 inches where I was fishing.

I hit the deep water side of South Center on saturday, couldnt catch any of those tight lipped crappies to save me life.  Did catch a couple walleyes as soon as I dropped some shiners down!        -thunderpout
